      A curvature flow method is developed in studying the question when a positive function in the Euclidean space is the Gauss-Kronecker curvature for a convex hypersurface. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a minimum which is a solution hypersurface is obtained. Multiple solutions are also found.
