A characterization of balls using the domain derivative

Andriy Didenko, Behrouz Emamizadeh

Abstract:
In this note we give a characterization of balls in $\mathbb{R}^N$ using the domain derivative. As a byproduct we will show that an overdetermined Stekloff eigenvalue problem is solvable if and only if the domain of interest is a ball.
