An asymptotic treatment for non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations: Global Sobolev and BMO type estimates.

In this paper, we establish global Sobolev a priori estimates for L p -viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations as follows: F (D 2 u , D u , u , x) = f (x) in  Ω u (x) = φ (x) on  ∂ Ω by considering minimal integrability condition on the data, i.e. f ∈ L p (Ω) , φ ∈ W 2 , p (Ω) for n < p < ∞ and a regular domain Ω ⊂ ℝ n , and relaxed structural assumptions (weaker than convexity) on the governing operator. Our approach makes use of techniques from geometric tangential analysis, which consists in transporting "fine" regularity estimates from a limiting operator, the Recession profile, associated to F to the original operator via compactness methods. We devote special attention to the borderline case, i.e. when f ∈ p − BMO ⊋ L ∞ . In such a scenery, we show that solutions admit BMO type estimates for their second derivatives.
