Abstract

We prove that if uC0(B1)u\in C^0(B_1) satisfies F(x,D2u)0F(x,D^2u) \le 0 in B1R2B_1\subset \mathbb{R}^2, in the viscosity sense, for some fully nonlinear (λ,Λ)(\lambda, \Lambda)-elliptic operator, then uW2,ε(B1/2)u \in W^{2,\varepsilon}(B_{1/2}), with appropriate estimates, for a sharp exponent ε=ε(λ,Λ) \varepsilon = \varepsilon(\lambda, \Lambda) verifying 1.629Λλ+1<ε(λ,Λ)2Λλ+1, \frac{1.629}{\frac{\Lambda}{\lambda} + 1} < \varepsilon(\lambda, \Lambda) \le \frac{2}{\frac{\Lambda}{\lambda} + 1}, uniformly as λΛ0\frac{\lambda}{\Lambda} \to 0. This is closely related to the Armstrong-Silvestre-Smart conjecture, raised in [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 65 (2012), no. 8, 1169--1184], where the upper bound is postulated to be the optimal one.
