Abstract

In this paper we consider a class of fully nonlinear equations which covers the equation introduced by S. Donaldson a decade ago and the equation introduced by Gursky–Streets recently. We solve the equation with uniform weak $C^2$ estimates, which hold for degenerate case.

Keywords

fully nonlinear equations, a priori estimates
