Abstract: We prove that for a smooth convex body KRd,d2, with positive Gauss curvature, its homothety with a certain associated convex body implies that K is either a ball or an ellipsoid, depending on the associated body considered.

Key words: Busemann-Petty problem, convex bodies, dual mixed volumes, floating body, surface of centers
