We investigate a class of semilinear parabolic and elliptic problems with fractional dynamic boundary conditions. We introduce two new operators, the so-called fractional Wentzell Laplacian and the fractional Steklov operator, which become essential in our study of these nonlinear problems. Besides giving a complete characterization of well-posedness and regularity of bounded solutions, we also establish the existence of finite-dimensional global attractors and also derive basic conditions for blow-up.

Keywords: elliptic problem, fractional Wentzell boundary conditions, The fractional Laplace operator, fractional Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator., exponential attractor, global attractor, fractional Steklov operator, semilinear reaction-diffusion equation.
