Abstract: In this paper we find strictly locally convex hypersurfaces in mathbbRn+1 with prescribed curvature and boundary. The main result is that if the given data admits a strictly locally convex radial graph as a subsolution, we can find a radial graph realizing the prescribed curvature and boundary. As an application we show any smooth domain on the boundary of a compact strictly convex body can be deformed to a smooth hypersurface with the same boundary (inside the convex body) and realizing any prescribed curvature function smaller than the curvature of the body.


The authors study the existence of locally convex hypersurfaces with prescribed principal curvatures which can be represented as a radial graph. It is shown that, provided the curvature functions satisfy some additional conditions and a subsolution exists, such hypersurface can indeed be obtained.
