The aim of this paper is to contribute to the nonlocal theory within the calculus of variations by studying two classes of nonlocal functionals. Since the nonlocal theory is not quite as developed as the local theory, a proof for the existence and uniqueness of minimizers is provided. However, the main result within the paper establishes the higher differentiability, in the context of Besov spaces, for minimizers of nonlocal functionals. This result is obtained under quadratic growth assumptions via the difference quotient method.
