In this paper, we show explicit $ C^{2, \alpha} $ interior estimates for viscosity solutions of fully non-linear, uniformly elliptic equations, which are close to linear equations and we also compute an explicit bound for the closeness.

Keywords: Non-linear, uniformly elliptic, viscosity solutions, Cordes-Nirenberg, non concave/convex.

Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 35A09, 35B45; Secondary: 35B20.
