Abstract: Let $ \Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a strictly convex domain and let $ \phi \in C^2(\Omega)$ be a convex function such that $ \lambda \leq$   det$ D^2\phi \leq\Lambda$ in $ \Omega$. The linearized Monge-Ampère equation is

$\displaystyle L_{\Phi}u=\textrm{trace}(\Phi D^2u)=f, $

where $ \Phi = ($det$ D^2\phi)(D^2\phi)^{-1}$ is the matrix of cofactors of $ D^2\phi$. We prove that there exist $ p>0$ and $ C>0$ depending only on $ n,\lambda,\Lambda$, and $ \textrm{dist}(\Omega^\prime,\Omega)$ such that

$\displaystyle \Vert D^2u\Vert _{L^p(\Omega^\prime)}\leq C(\Vert u\Vert _{L^\infty(\Omega)}+\Vert f\Vert _{L^n(\Omega)}) $

for all solutions $ u\in C^2(\Omega)$ to the equation $ L_{\Phi}u=f$.
