Abstract

Assume that DR3D\subset \mathbb{R}^3 is a bounded domain with C1C^1-smooth boundary. Our result is: {\bf Theorem 1.} {\em If DD has PP-property, then DD is a ball.} Four equivalent formulations of the Pompeiu problem are discussed. A domain DD has PP-property if there exists an f0f\neq 0, fLloc1(R3)f\in L^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^3) such that Df(gx+y)dx=0\int_{D}f(gx+y)dx=0 for all yR3y\in \mathbb{R}^3 and all gSO(2)g\in SO(2), where SO(2) SO(2) is the rotation group. The result obtained concerning the related symmetry problem is: {\bf Theorem 2.} {\em If (2+k2)u=0(\nabla^2 +k^2)u=0 in DD, uS=1u|_S=1, uNS=0u_N|_S=0, and k>0k>0 is a constant, then DD is a ball.}
