Title: k-Hessian curvature type equations in space forms Authors: Jundong Zhou (Fuyang Normal Univ., Anhui, China) Abstract: In this article, we study closed star-shaped (eta, k)-convex hypersurfaces in space forms satisfying a class of k-Hessian curvature type equations. Firstly, using the maximum principle, we obtain a priori estimates for the class of Hessian curvature type equations. Secondly, we obtain an existence result by using standard degree theory based on a priori estimates. Submitted April 1, 2021. Published March 10, 2022. Math Subject Classifications: 53A99, 35J60.
