Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the weak solutions of the fractional elliptic problem (Section.Display)
where ,
or

open set in

is defined in the distribution sense, i.e.
here denotes the unit inward normal vector at

admits a unique weak solution when g is a continuous nondecreasing function satisfying
Our interest then is to analyse the properties of weak solution when with
, including the asymptotic behaviour near
and the limit of weak solutions as
. Furthermore, we show the optimality of the critical value
in a certain sense, by proving the non-existence of weak solutions when
. The final part of this article is devoted to the study of existence for positive weak solutions to (0.1) when

. We employ the Schauder’s fixed point theorem to obtain positive solution under the hypothesis that g is a continuous function satisfying
