Schauder estimates for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs: a geometric tangential approach

Abstract

In this paper, we establish local and global Schauder estimates for classical solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations, which are not necessarily convex or concave, under suitable Hölder continuity assumptions on the data. Our approach is based on a robust blow-up argument, combined with geometric tangential analysis and compactness techniques. This strategy is strongly influenced by methodologies developed in the contemporary theory of nonlinear elliptic PDEs.
