Abstract
An existence theorem is proved for closed convex surfaces whose principal radii of curvature regarded as functions of the unit normal vectorn satisfy the equation
wheree is an unknown constant vector being sought along with the surface. This equation has been studied by Miranda, who proved a variety of existence and uniqueness theorems about its solutions. The results obtained lead to a certain simplification in the hypotheses imposed on the functions Φ andϕ in these theorems.
