Abstract

Let fLloc1(Rn)Sf \in L_{loc}^1 (\R^n)\cap \mathcal{S}, where S\mathcal{S} is the Schwartz class of distributions, and σ(D)f(x)dx=0σG,()\int_{\sigma (D)} f(x) dx = 0 \quad \forall \sigma \in G, \qquad (*) where DRnD\subset \R^n is a bounded domain, the closure Dˉ\bar{D} of which is diffeomorphic to a closed ball, and SS is its boundary. Then the compisconnectedandpathconnected.By is connected and path connected. By Gthegroupofallrigidmotionsof the group of all rigid motions of \R^n is denoted. This group consists of all translations and rotations. A proof of the following theorem is given. Theorem 1. {\it Assume that n=2,, f\not\equiv 0,and()holds.Then, and (*) holds. Then D is a ball.} Corollary. {\it If the problem (\nabla^2+k^2)u=0in in D,, u_N|_S=0,, u|_S=const\neq 0hasasolution,then has a solution, then D is a ball.} Here Nistheouterunitnormalto is the outer unit normal to S$.
