  • Published:
Journal of Mathematical Sciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We study the classical solvability of m-Hessian equations. We give a complete proof of the existence of a classical solution under minimal assumptions on the data of the Dirichlet problem and systematize methods for studying fully nonlinear Hessian equations. Bibliography: 18 titles.
