If u = u(x, y) is a C" solution of rt - 82 = 1 in the whole E2, then u is a quadratic polynomial. It turns out that the neat proof of Nitsche can be extended to prove a generalization of this result to several variables. THEOREM. Let u = u(x1, - * *, xn) be a C" function on El. Suppose that the Hessian matrix R = 11 82ulfxt, II is positive semi-definite. Finally, suppose that the equation tr (I + R)-1 = b, b constant, is satisfied. Then u is a quadratic polynomial. Let us use the column vector notation, Xi ~~~(dxj ~ dx=~~~~~~~~~~~~ix
