Abstract: The existence and nonexistence of the $\Gamma$ -subharmonic solutions for the complex Hessian equations with infinite Dirichlet boundary value are proved in the certain bounded domain in . We calculate the k-Hessian of the radially symmetric function and use radial functions to construct various barrier functions in this paper. Moreover, it is shown that the growth rate conditions are nearly optimal.
