Problem Statement

Let n4n\ge 4 be a positive integer and let MM be a set of nn points in the plane, where no three points are collinear and not all of the nn points being concyclic. Find all real functions f:MRf:M\to\mathbb{R} such that for any circle C\mathcal{C} containing at least three points from MM, the following equality holds: PCMf(P)=0\sum_{P\in\mathcal{C}\cap M} f(P)=0 Dorel Mihet
