In this paper we establish the existence of an embedding Y:Sn→ Sn+1 with the prescribed mean curvature H. In the case of Y is a graph on Sn, this problem is a quasilinear elliptic equation on the sphere Sn. The key to our study of this equation is the Schauder-type estimates. Under certain conditions on H, we find a maximum estimate and a gradient estimate. Based on the continulity method, we obtain the result of existence.
