Abstract

In this paper, we prove that any W2,1W^{2,1} strong solution to second-order non-divergence form elliptic equations is locally W2,W^{2,\infty} and piecewise C2C^{2} when the leading coefficients and data are of piecewise Dini mean oscillation and the lower-order terms are bounded. Somewhat surprisingly here the interfacial boundaries are only required to be C1,DiniC^{1,\text{Dini}}. We also derive global weak-type (1,1)(1,1) estimates with respect to A1A_{1} Muckenhoupt weights. The corresponding results for the adjoint operator are established. Our estimates are independent of the distance between these surfaces of discontinuity of the coefficients.
