Given $s\in(0,1)$, we consider the problem of minimizing the fractional Gagliardo seminorm in $H^s$ with prescribed condition outside the ball and under the further constraint of attaining zero value in a given set $K$.
    We investigate how the energy changes in dependence of such set. In particular, under mild regularity conditions, we show that adding a set $A$ to $K$ increases the energy of at most the measure of $A$ (this may be seen as a perturbation result for small sets $A$).
    Also, we point out a monotonicity feature of the energy with respect to the prescribed sets and the boundary conditions.
Keywords: Harmonic replacement, fractional Sobolev spaces, energy estimates..
