      For a finite set \(A= \{a_1, \dots, a_n\}\) in a real normed space and a family \(W= \{w_1, \dots, w_n\}\) of positive reals consider the function \(G_{A,W} (x)= \sum^n_{i=1} w_i |x-a_i |^2\). The paper characterizes inner product spaces among the class of all normed spaces with help of properties derived from the solution behaviour of \(G_{A,W}\).
