摘要

We study the second-order asymptotic expansion of the s-fractional Gagliardo seminorm as $s\rightarrow 1^-$ $s \to 1^{-}$ in terms of a higher-order nonlocal functional. We prove a Mosco-convergence result for the energy functionals and characterize the domain of the limit, which can be interpreted as the space of functions of differentiability order “logarithmically larger” than one. This is also motivated by the fact that the first variation of the limit is the formal derivative of the (scaled) s-fractional Laplacian as $s\rightarrow 1^-$ $s \to 1^{-}$ . In the second part of the paper, we show that the $L^2$ $L^{2}$ -gradient flows of the energies converge to the $L^2$ $L^{2}$ -gradient flows of the Mosco-limit.
