We consider the entire graph S of a continuous real function over R(N-1) with N >= 3. Let Omega be a domain in R(N) with S as a boundary. Consider in Omega the beat now with initial temperature 0 and boundary temperature 1. The problem we consider is to characterize S in such a way that there exists a stationary isothermic surface in Omega. We show that S must be a hyperplane under some general conditions on S. This is related to Liouville or Bernstein-type theorems for some elliptic Monge-Ampere-type equation. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
