Abstract

We take up in this paper the existence of positive continuous solutions for some nonlinear boundary value problems with fractional differential equation based on the fractional Laplacian \({(-\Delta _{|D})^{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}\) associated to the subordinate killed Brownian motion process \({Z_{\alpha }^{D}}\) in a bounded C 1,1 domain D. Our arguments are based on potential theory tools on \({Z_{\alpha }^{D}}\) and properties of an appropriate Kato class of functions K α (D).
