A strong maximum principle for the fractional laplace equation with mixed boundary condition

Rafael López-Soriano
Abstract
In this work we prove a strong maximum principle for fractional elliptic problems with mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary data which extends the one proved by J. Dávila (cf. [11]) to the fractional setting. In particular, we present a comparison result for two solutions of the fractional Laplace equation involving the spectral fractional Laplacian endowed with homogeneous mixed boundary condition. This result represents a non–local counterpart to a Hopf’s Lemma for fractional elliptic problems with mixed boundary data.
