Título: Monotonicity of solutions for some nonlocal elliptic problems in half-spaces

Conferenciante: Begoña Barrios Barrera (Universidad de la Laguna)

Resumen:
Along this talk we will consider classical solutions of the semilinear
fractional problem
$$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^s u = f(u) & \hbox{in }\mathbb{R}^N_+,\\[0.35pc] \ \ u=0 & \hbox{on } \partial \mathbb{R}^N_+, \end{array} \right.$$
where $(-\Delta)^s$, $0 < s < 1$, stands for the fractional Laplacian, $N \ge 2$, $\mathbb{R}^N_+ = \{x=(x',x_N)\in \mathbb{R}^N:\ x_N>0\}$ is the half-space and $f \in C^1$ is a given function.
With no additional restriction on the function $f$, we show that bounded, nonnegative, nontrivial classical solutions are indeed positive in $\mathbb{R}^N_+$ and verify
$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_N}>0 \quad \hbox{in } \mathbb{R}^N_+.$$
This is in contrast with previously known results for the local case $s=1$, where
nonnegative solutions which are not positive do exist and the monotonicity property above
is not known to hold in general even for positive solutions when $f(0)<0$ (see for instance [1,2,3]).

This work is joint with L. Del Pezzo (UBA, Argentina), J. García-Melián (ULL) and A. Quaas (Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Chile).
