The authors give a new proof of Bian-Guan's constant rank theorem for nonlinear elliptic equations \[ F(D^2u, Du, u,x)=0, \qquad F^{ij}>0\quad \text{ on } \;\Omega\,. \] The approach consists of using a linear expression of the eigenvalues of the Hessian instead of quotients of elementary symmetric functions.
