摘要
We consider the problem of recovering a closed convex reflecting surface such that for a given point source of light (inside the convex body bounded by the surface) the reflected directions cover a unit sphere with prespecified in advance density. In analytic formulation, the problem leads to an equation of Monge-Ampère type on a unit sphere. We formulate the problem in terms of certain associated measures and establish the existence of weak solutions. Bibliography: 11 titles. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
