Boundary regularity of mixed local-nonlocal operators and its application

Abstract

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded $C^2$ domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $u\in C(\mathbb{R}^n)$ solves \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} \Delta u + a Iu + C_0|Du| \geq -K\quad \text{in}\; \Omega, \quad \Delta u + a Iu - C_0|Du|\leq K \quad \text{in}\; \Omega, \quad u=0\quad \text{in}\; \Omega^c, \end{aligned} \end{equation*} in the viscosity sense, where $0\leq a\leq A_0$, $C_0, K\geq 0$, and $I$ is a suitable nonlocal operator. We show that $u/\delta$ is in $C^{\kappa}(\bar \Omega)$ for some $\kappa\in (0,1)$, where $\delta(x)={\rm dist}(x, \Omega^c)$. Using this result, we also establish that $u\in C^{1, \gamma}(\bar\Omega)$. Finally, we apply these results to study an overdetermined problem for mixed local-nonlocal operators.
