Inversion of the Crofton transform for sets in the plane (Q1322613)

H. Steinhaus posed the question whether two plane arcs are identical provided that all lines meet them in the same number of points. The author uses the Crofton transform to answer this question in a much stronger version. He starts with general linear measurable subsets of the plane. The final results of this paper are a Crofton weak transform inversion, to be roughly said an analytical description of the closure of the regular part of a Borel set with finite line measure, and sufficient conditions that the closures of the regular parts of two plane Borel sets agree. The analytical description is very complicated. The reader must work through about 15 definitions to understand it.
