Boundary regularity and Hopf lemma for nondegenerate stable operators

Abstract

We prove sharp boundary H{ö}lder regularity for solutions to equations involving stable integro-differential operators in bounded open sets satisfying the exterior $C^{1,\text{dini}}$-property. This result is new even for the fractional Laplacian. A Hopf-type boundary lemma is proven, too. An additional feature of this work is that the regularity estimate is robust as $s\to 1-$ and we recover the classical results for second order equations.
