We establish derivative estimates and existence theorems for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for nonlinear, degenerate elliptic equations of the form F (D2u) = g in balls. The degeneracy arises through the possible vanishing of the function g and the degenerate Monge-Ampère equation is covered as a special case.
