      [For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00053.] We consider problems of the following type: Let \(D\) be a bounded domain in Euclidean \(n\) space \((\mathbb{R}^ n)\) and suppose \(u\) is a positive solution to \(Lu = 0\) in \(D\) with \(u(x) \to 0\), \(| \nabla u(x)| \to \text{constant}\), as \(x \to \partial D\), in an appropriate sense. Show that \(D\) is a ball and \(u\) is radially symmetric about the center of \(D\).
