An a priori estimate for the Hölder constant with exponent 0 < α < 1 is obtained for smooth solutions to m-Hessian equations in a closed domain with (m − 1)-convex boundary of class C 2. The Hölder constant depends on the L p-norm, p > [n(n + 1)]/2, of the right-hand side of the equation, and the estimate remains valid for approximate solutions. Bibliography: 4 titles.
