For a class of competition-diffusion nonlinear systems involving the $s$-power of the laplacian, $s\in(0,1)$, of the form \[ (-\Delta)^{s} u_i=f_i(u_i) - \beta u_i\sum_{j\neq i}a_{ij}u_j^2,\qquad i=1,\dots,k, \] we prove that $L^\infty$ boundedness implies $\mathcal{C}^{0,\alpha}$ boundedness for $\alpha>0$ sufficiently small, uniformly as $\beta\to +\infty$. This extends to the case $s\neq1/2$ part of the results obtained by the authors in the previous paper [arXiv: 1211.6087v1].
Keywords: strongly competing systems, optimal regularity of limiting profiles, Fractional laplacian, singular perturbations., spatial segregation.
