Abstract

In this paper, we prove that a quartic polynomial solution of the eikonal equation xf2=16x6|\nabla_x f|^2=16x^{6} in Rn\R{n} is either an isoparametric polynomial or congruent to a polynomial f=(i=1nxi2)28(i=1kxi2)(i=k+1nxi2)f=(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2)^2-8(\sum_{i=1}^k x_i^2)(\sum_{i=k+1}^{n} x_i^2), k=0,1,.˙.,[n2]k=0,1,\...,[\frac{n}{2}].
