A global fractional Caccioppoli-type estimate for solutions to nonlinear elliptic problems with measure data

Abstract

We prove a global fractional differentiability result via the fractional Caccioppoli-type estimate for solutions to nonlinear elliptic problems with measure data. This work is in fact inspired by the recent paper [B. Avelin, T. Kuusi, G. Mingione, {\em Nonlinear Calderón-Zygmund theory in the limiting case}, Arch. Rational. Mech. Anal. {\bf 227}(2018), 663--714], that was devoted to the local fractional regularity for the solutions to nonlinear elliptic equations with right-hand side measure, of type $-\mathrm{div}\mathcal{A}(\nabla u)=\mu$ in the limiting case. Being a contribution to recent results of identifying function classes that solutions to such problems could be defined, our aim in this work is to establish a global regularity result in a setting of weighted fractional Sobolev spaces, where the weights are powers of the distance function to the boundary of the smooth domains.
