Hölder regularity for weak solutions to nonlocal double phase problems

Abstract

We prove local boundedness and Hölder continuity for weak solutions to nonlocal double phase problems concerning the following fractional energy functional \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{|v(x)-v(y)|^p}{|x-y|^{n+sp}} + a(x,y)\frac{|v(x)-v(y)|^q}{|x-y|^{n+tq}}\, dxdy, \] where $0<s\le t<1<p\le q<\infty$ and $a(\cdot ,\cdot )\ge 0$. For such regularity results, we identify sharp assumptions on the modulating coefficient $a(\cdot ,\cdot )$ and the powers $s,t,p,q$ which are analogous to those for local double phase problems.
