Characterizations of the sphere by means of visual cones: an alternative proof of Matsuura's theorem

Abstract: In this work we prove the following: let

K

be a convex body in the Euclidean space

m a t h b b R^{n}

,

n g e q 3

, contained in the interior of the unit ball of

m a t h b b R^{n}

, and let

p i n m a t h b b R^{n}

be a point such that, from each point of

m a t h b b S^{n - 1}

,

K

looks centrally symmetric and

p

appears as the center, then

K

is a ball.
