Boundedness of non-local operators with spatially dependent coefficients and $L_p$-estimates for non-local equations

Abstract

We prove the boundedness of the non-local operator \[ \mathcal{L}^a u(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \left(u(x+y)-u(x)-\chi_\alpha(y)\big(\nabla u(x),y\big)\right) a(x,y)\frac{dy}{|y|^{d+\alpha}} \] from $H_{p,w}^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^d)$ to $L_{p,w}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for the whole range of $p \in (1,\infty)$, where $w$ is a Muckenhoupt weight. The coefficient $a(x,y)$ is bounded, merely measurable in $y$, and H\"{o}lder continuous in $x$ with an arbitrarily small exponent. We extend the previous results by removing the largeness assumption on $p$ as well as considering weighted spaces with Muckenhoupt weights. Using the boundedness result, we prove the unique solvability in $L_p$ spaces of the corresponding parabolic and elliptic non-local equations.
