Some notes on functions of least Ws,1-fractional seminorm

Abstract

In this survey we discuss some existence and asymptotic results, originally obtained in [4,3], for functions of least Ws,1-fractional seminorm. We present the connection between these functions and nonlocal minimal surfaces, leveraging this relation to build a function of least fractional seminorm. We further prove that a function of least fractional seminorm is the limit for p → 1 of the sequence of minimizers of the Ws,p-energy. Additionally, we consider the fractional 1-Laplace operator and study the equivalence between weak solutions and functions of least fractional seminorm.
