The authors consider a sphere \(S^n\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) equipped with the Riemannian structure induced from the metric \(h = d\rho ^2 + f(\rho )e\), \((u, \rho)\) being the spherical coordinates in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) and \(e\) the standard metric on \(S^n\). (Note that such metrics \(h\) on \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) include spaces of constant sectional curvature \(0\), \(1\) and \(-1\).) They consider the following problem: given \(\psi\), a positive function on \({\mathbb R}^{n+1}\), find a hypersurface \(M\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) given as \(\{ (u, z(u)); u\in S^n\}\) for which \(\psi\) is the \(m\)th mean curvature (that is, the \(m\)th elementary symmetric function of principal curvatures) of \(M\) in \((\mathbb{R}^{n+1}, h)\). They provide certain a priori \(C^0\)-, \(C^1\)- and \(C^2\)-estimates (in terms of \(m\), \(n\), \(\psi\) etc.) for such a \(z\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0998.00008].
