An inverse approach to hyperspheres of prescribed mean curvature in Euclidean space. (English) Zbl 1498.53007

Summary: We construct families of smooth functions \(H: \mathbb{R}^{n+1} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) such that the Euclidean \((n + 1)\)-space is completely filled by not necessarily round hyperspheres of mean curvature \(H\) at every point.
