Given a positive function \(F\) on \(S^2\) which satisfies a convexity condition, the authors define a function \(H_{C}^{F}\) for surfaces in \(\mathbb R^3\) which is a generaliztion of usual mean curvature function. They prove that an immersed topological sphere in \(\mathbb R^3\) with \(H_{C}^{F}=\) constant is the Wulff shape, up to translations and homotheties.
