Abstract

We establish in this paper \emph{a priori} global W2,δW^{2,\delta} estimates for singular fully nonlinear elliptic equations with LnL^n right hand side terms. The method is to slide paraboloids and barrier functions vertically to touch the solution of the equation, and then to estimate the measure of the contact set in terms of the measure of the vertex point set. To derive global estimates from LnL^n data, the Hardy-Littlewood maximal functions, appropriate localizations and a new type of covering argument are adopted. These methods also provide us a more direct proof of the W2,δW^{2,\delta} estimates for (nonsingular) fully nonlinear elliptic equations established by L. A. Caffarelli and X. Cabr\'{e}.
