Optimal exponent conjecture for fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations

About 15 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda and Λ\Lambda be the ellipticity constants in Proposition 2.1, and let ε\varepsilon denote the exponent in its W2,εW^{2,\varepsilon} estimate. Optimal exponent conjecture. The optimal exponent in Proposition 2.1 is

ε=2(Λ/λ+1)−1.\varepsilon=2(\Lambda/\lambda+1)^{-1}.

The preceding construction shows that the estimate fails when (Λ/λ+1)ε>2(\Lambda/\lambda+1)\varepsilon>2, so this exponent is an upper bound for the range established by that proposition. The source does not state whether the endpoint exponent is attainable, leaving the optimality claim open.
