Abstract: In cite{Roe} Roe proved that if a doubly-infinite sequence fk of functions on R satisfies fk+1=(dfk/dx) and |fk(x)|leqM for all k=0,pm1,pm2,... and xinR, then f0(x)=asin(x+varphi) where a and varphi are real constants. This result was extended to Rn by Strichartz cite{Str} where d/dx is substituted by the Laplacian on Rn. While it is plausible to extend this theorem for other Riemannian manifolds or Lie groups, Strichartz showed that the result holds true for Heisenberg groups, but fails for hyperbolic 3-space. This negative result can be indeed extended to any Riemannian symmetric space of noncompact type. We observe that this failure is rooted in the p-dependance of the Lp-spectrum of the Laplacian on the hyperbolic spaces. Taking this into account we shall prove that for all rank one Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type, or more generally for the harmonic NA groups, the theorem actually holds true when uniform boundedness is replaced by uniform "almost Lp boundedness". In addition we shall see that for the symmetric spaces this theorem is capable of characterizing the Poisson transforms of Lp functions on the boundary, which some what resembles the original theorem of Roe on R.
