Abstract

The following result is proved: {\bf Theorem.} Let DR3D\subset \R^3 be a bounded domain homeomorphic to a ball, D|D| be its volume, S|S| be the surface area of its smooth boundary SS, DBR:={x:xR}D\subset B_R:=\{x:|x|\leq R\}, and HRH_R is the set of all harmonic in BRB_R functions. If 1DDhdx=1SShdshHR,\frac 1 {|D|}\int_Dhdx=\frac 1 {|S|}\int_Shds\quad \forall h\in H_R, then DD is a ball.
