Král type removability results for \(k\)-Hessian equation and \(k\)-curvature equation. (Q669623)

The author is concerned with Hessian equation \(F_k[u]=g(x,u,Du)\) and the curvature equation \(H_k[u]=g(x,u,Du)\), where \(g\) is a nonnegative continuous function defined in \(\Omega\times R\times R^n\). Here \(F_k[u]=S_k(\lambda_1,\dots ,\lambda_n)\), \(H_k[u]=S_k(\kappa_1 ,\dots ,\kappa_n)\), where \(\lambda_1,\dots ,\lambda_n\) denote the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix \(D^2 u\), and \(\kappa_1 ,\dots ,\kappa_n\) denote the principal curvatures of the graph of \(u\). The function \(S_k\) is given by \(S_k(a_1,\dots ,a_n)=\sum a_{i(1)}\dots a_{i(k)}\) where the sum is taken over all increasing \(k\)-tuples, \(1\leq i(1)<\dots <i(k)\leq n\). The function \(u\in C^1(\Omega)\) is a solution of the Hessian equation (curvature equation) in \(\Omega\setminus V\). Under some conditions on \(u\) and \(V\) it is proved that \(u\) is a solution of the Hessian equation (curvature equation) in \(\Omega\).
