The limit as $s\nearrow 1$ of the fractional convex envelope

Abstract: We study the behavior of the fractional convexity when the fractional parameter goes to 1. For any notion of convexity, the convex envelope of a datum prescribed on the boundary of a domain is defined as the largest possible convex function inside the domain that is below the datum on the boundary. Here we prove that the fractional convex envelope inside a strictly convex domain of a continuous and bounded exterior datum converges when $s\nearrow 1$ to the classical convex envelope of the restriction to the boundary of the exterior datum.
