Pompeiu problem
Pompeiu problem
Let , and let denote the group of rigid motions of , i.e. the maps with and .
Let be a bounded, simply connected Lipschitz domain, and suppose there exists a continuous function , not identically zero, such that
that is, the integral of vanishes over every congruent copy of . Then is a ball.
In the setting of overdetermined boundary value problems, the corresponding assertion is the following. Let be a bounded, simply connected domain with smooth (indeed real analytic) boundary , and let denote differentiation along the outward unit normal to . Suppose there exist , a constant , and a function not identically zero satisfying
Then is a ball.
