Lewy-Stampacchia type estimates for variational inequalities driven by (non)local operators

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to derive some Lewy-Stampacchia estimates in some cases of interest, such as the ones driven by non-local operators. Since we will perform an abstract approach to the problem, this will provide, as a byproduct, Lewy-Stampacchia estimates in more classical cases as well. In particular, we can recover the known estimates for the standard Laplacian, the p-Laplacian, and the Laplacian in the Heisenberg group. In the non-local framework we prove a Lewy-Stampacchia estimate for a general integrodifferential operator and, as a particular case, for the fractional Laplacian. As far as we know, the abstract framework and the results in the non-local setting are new.
