Popis: We consider the evolution problem associated to the infinity fractional Laplacian introduced by Bjorland, Caffarelli and Figalli (2012) as the infinitesimal generator of a non-Brownian tug-of-war game. We first construct a class of viscosity solutions of the initial-value problem for bounded and uniformly continuous data. An important result is the equivalence of the nonlinear operator in higher dimensions with the one-dimensional fractional Laplacian when it is applied to radially symmetric and monotone functions. Thanks to this and a comparison theorem between classical and viscosity solutions, we are able to establish a global Harnack inequality that, in particular, explains the long-time behavior of the solutions.
