On the obstacle problem in fractional generalised Orlicz spaces by Catharine W. K. Lo, José Francisco Rodrigues

“…We consider the approximation of the solutions through semilinear problems, for which we prove a global $ L^\infty $-estimate, and we extend the local Hölder regularity to the solutions of the obstacle problems in the case of the fractional $ p(x, y) $-Laplacian operator. We make further remarks on a few elementary properties of related capacities in the fractional generalised Orlicz framework, with a special reference to the Hilbertian nonlinear case in fractional Sobolev spaces.…”
