    To find unknown convex body $K$ such that $\mu=\mathcal{M}(K,\cdot)$, where $\mu$ is a pregiven Borel measure on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ and $\mathcal{M}(K,cdot)$ is a Borel measure on $S^{n-1}$ depending on $K$ is an important problem in convex geometry. Such a problem is called the Minkowski type problem and has found many applications in other areassuch aspartial differential equations computer science, etc.
