Abstract

We give an alternative proof for Hölder regularity for weak solutions of nonlocal elliptic quasilinear equations modelled on the fractional p-Laplacian where we replace the discrete De Giorgi iteration on a sequence of concentric balls by a continuous iteration. This work can be viewed as the nonlocal counterpart to the ideas developed by Tiziano Granucci.
