Abstract

We prove $W^{2,\varepsilon}$ estimates for viscosity supersolutions of fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations where ε decays polynomially with respect to the ellipticity ratio of the equations. Our result is related to a conjecture of Armstrong–Silvestre–Smart [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 65 (2012), no. 8, 1169–1184] which predicts a linear decay for $\varepsilon$ with respect to the ellipticity ratio of the equations.
