A priori estimates of solutions to nonlinear fractional Laplacian equation

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the research of a priori estimates of several types of semi-linear fractional Laplacian equations with a critical Sobolev exponent. Employing the method of moving planes, we can achieve a priori estimates which are closely connected to the existence of solutions to nonlinear fractional Laplacian equations. Our result can extend a priori estimates of the second order elliptic equation to the fractional Laplacian equation and we believe that the method used here will be applicable to more general nonlocal problems.
