Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be a bounded convex domain in Rn\mathbb{R}^n (n2n \ge 2). In this work, we prove that if there exists an integrable function ff such that it's Radon transform over (n1)(n-1)-dimensional hyperplanes intersecting the domain Ω\Omega is a strictly positive function of distance to the nearest parallel supporting hyperplane to Ω\Omega, then Ω\Omega is a ball and the function ff is a unique radial function about the centre of Ω\Omega.
