$C^{2,\alpha}$ estimates and existence results for a nonconcave PDE

Vamsi P. Pingali

Abstract:
We establish $C^{2,\alpha}$ estimates for PDE of the form convex + a sum of weakly concave functions of the Hessian, thus generalising a recent result of Collins which is in turn inspired by a theorem of Caffarelli and Yuan. We apply this result to prove a unique continuation result for a generalised Monge-Ampere PDE. Independently, we also prove an existence result for a special case.
