Abstract

In this paper, we study the solvability of a general class of fully nonlinear curvature equations, which can be viewed as generalizations of the equations for Christoffel–Minkowski problem in convex geometry. We will also study the Dirichlet problem of the corresponding degenerate equations as an extension of the equations studied by Krylov.
