contents This article investigates the existence of closed, star-shaped hypersurfaces for a class of Hessian quotient type curvature equations, in which the operator $\frac{σ_k}{σ_l}(Λ)$ arising in these equations can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Hessian quotient operator. By combining a priori estimates with the continuity method, we establish the existence and uniqueness of $(\mathbf{p}, k)$-convex hypersurfaces for both nonhomogeneous and homogeneous equations of this type. Furthermore, by exploiting the recently discovered ``inverse convexity'' property of the operator $\frac{σ_k}{σ_l}(Λ)$, we prove a constant rank theorem and thereby obtain the existence and uniqueness of strictly convex solutions to these curvature equations.
