In this paper we prove some results on the boundary behavior of solutions to fractional elliptic problems. Firstly, we establish a Hopf Lemma for solutions to some integro-differential equations. The main novelty of our result is that we do not assume any global condition on the sign of the solutions. Secondly, we show that non-trivial radial solutions cannot have infinitely many zeros accumulating at the boundary. We provide concrete examples to show that the results obtained are sharp.

Abstract

In this paper we prove some results on the boundary behavior of solutions to fractional elliptic problems. Firstly, we establish a Hopf Lemma for solutions to some integro-differential equations. The main novelty of our result is that we do not assume any global condition on the sign of the solutions. Secondly, we show that non-trivial radial solutions cannot have infinitely many zeros accumulating at the boundary. We provide concrete examples to show that the results obtained are sharp.
