Abstract

In this paper, a new method is represented to investigate boundary \(W^{2,p}\) estimates for elliptic equations, which is, roughly speaking, to derive boundary \(W^{2,p}\) estimates from interior \(W^{2,p}\) estimates by Whitney decomposition. Using it, \(W^{2,p}\) estimates on \(C^{1,\alpha }\) domains are obtained for nondivergence form linear elliptic equations and further more, fully nonlinear elliptic equations are also considered.
