The Global Schauder estimate isThe constant depends on the dimension, $\alpha$, the domain and its boundary regularity, the ellipticity constants, and the $C^{0,\alpha }$ norms of the coefficients, but not on $u$, $f$, or $\phi$.

Let $v$ range over a bounded subset of $C^{1,\beta }$. All jets $(x,v,Dv)$ then lie in one compact set, so the composed coefficients have uniform $C^{0,\alpha \beta }$ bounds and one ellipticity constant. The weak maximum principle for elliptic operators bounds $T(v)$ in $C^0$ by the boundary data and the bounded forcing term. The Global Schauder estimate consequently bounds $T(v)$ in $C^{2,\alpha \beta }$.

The compact embedding of Hölder spacesthen makes the image relatively compact. Hence $T$ is a compact operator on $C^{1,\beta }(\overline{\Omega })$.

The Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem says that a continuous compact map $T$ on a Banach space has a fixed point if the homotopy setis bounded. If $u=tT(u)$ with $t>0$, multiplying the equation for $T(u)$ by $t$ shows that $u$ solvesThe case $t=0$ gives $u=0$. Therefore it is enough to prove one uniform $C^{1,\beta }$ estimate for all solutions of this family and all $t\in [0,1]$. The theorem then yields a fixed point $u=T(u)$, which solves the original quasilinear problem.

Initially the construction gives $u\in C^{2,\alpha \beta }$. This makes $u$ and $Du$ Lipschitz, so composing the original $C^{0,\alpha }$ coefficients with the jet of $u$ produces $C^{0,\alpha }$ coefficients. A second application of the Global Schauder estimate gives $u\in C^{2,\alpha }(\overline{\Omega })$. The fixed-point theorem is an existence result and supplies no uniqueness.
