Mean value properties of solutions to the $m$-dimensional Helmholtz and modified Helmholtz equations are considered. An elementary derivation of these properties is given; it involves the Euler--Poisson--Darboux equation. Despite the…

We consider the $m$-dimensional modified Helmholtz equation and establish two relations between its solutions in a bounded domain and harmonic functions. Both relations essentially rely on properties of the Newtonian potential. Some other…
Several mean value identities for harmonic and panharmonic functions are reviewed along with the corresponding inverse properties. The latter characterize balls, annuli and strips analytically via these functions.
We show that balls are the only open bounded domains for which the mean value formula for polyharmonic functions holds. We do so by adapting an argument of \"U. Kuran for harmonic functions. Also, we provide a quantitative version of the…
Weighted mean value identities over balls are considered for harmonic functions and their derivatives. Logarithmic and other weights are involved in these identities for functions. Some applications of weighted identities are presented.…

The famous Minkowski inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the mixed volume $V(K,M[n-1])$ of two convex bodies $K,M\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in terms of powers of the volumes of the individual bodies $K$ and $M$. The special case where $K$…
We prove a randomized version of the generalized Urysohn inequality relating mean-width to the other intrinsic volumes. To do this, we introduce a stochastic approximation procedure that sees each convex body K as the limit of intersections…
Let $u_k$ be a solution of the Helmholtz equation with the wave number $k$, $\Delta u_k+k^2 u_k=0$, on a small ball in either $\mathbb{R}^n$, $\mathbb{S}^n$, or $\mathbb{H}^n$. For a fixed point $p$, we define $M_{u_k}(r)=\max_{d(x,p)\le…
