We consider the Dirichlet problem for the m-Hessian equations F m [u] = f in a domain Ω and analyze the behavior of approximate solutions at the boundary of Ω. We show that the growth rate for weak solutions towards to the boundary locally depends on the summability exponent of f or on the fact whether f belongs to a certain Morrey type space near the boundary. The result obtained can be used for estimating the Hölder constant for weak solutions in the closed domain. Bibliography: 11 titles.
