The following result is proved: {\bf Theorem.} Let $D\subset \R^3$ be a bounded domain homeomorphic to a ball, $|D|$ be its volume, $|S|$ be the surface area of its smooth boundary $S$, $D\subset B_R:=\{x:|x|\leq R\}$, and $H_R$ is the set…
The following conjecture has been known for many decades as Schiffer's symmetry problem (or Schiffer's conjecture): Assume that $\Delta u+k^2u=0$ in $D$, $u|_S=0$, $u_N|_S=1$, where $D\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is a bounded, connected,…
Assume that $D\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is a bounded domain with $C^1-$smooth boundary. Our result is: {\bf Theorem 1.} {\em If $D$ has $P-$property, then $D$ is a ball.} Four equivalent formulations of the Pompeiu problem are discussed. A…

It is well known that if $h$ is a nonnegative harmonic function in the ball of $\RR^{d+1}$ or if $h$ is harmonic in the ball with integrable boundary values, then the radial limit of $h$ exists at almost every point of the boundary. In this…
