dc.description.abstractLet u : Ω ⊆ ℝn → ℝN be a smooth map and n, N ∈ ℕ. The ∞-Laplacian is the PDE system ∆∞u ≔ (Du ⊗ Du + |Du|2 [Du]⊥ ⊗ I) : D2u = 0, where [Du]⊥ ≔ ProjR(Du)⊥. This system constitutes the fundamental equation of vectorial Calculus of Variations in L∞, associated with the model functional E∞(u, Ω′) = ∥|Du|2∥L∞(Ω′), Ω′ ⋐ Ω. We show that generalised solutions to the system can be characterised in terms of the functional via a set of designated affine variations. For the scalar case N = 1, we utilise the theory of viscosity solutions by Crandall-Ishii-Lions. For the vectorial case N ≥ 2, we utilise the recently proposed by the author theory of D-solutions. Moreover, we extend the result described above to the p-Laplacian, 1 < p < ∞.
