Abstract

We study the variational structure of the biased infinity Laplacian by introducing a notion of the β\beta\textit{-Exponential Absolute Minimizing Extension} (β\beta--AM) on arbitrary length space, which absolutely minimizing the exponential slope Luβ(E):=βsupx,yEu(y)eβxyu(x)1eβxy. L^{\beta}_u (E) := \beta \sup_{x,y \in E} \frac{u(y) - e^{-\beta |x-y|} u(x)}{1- e^{-\beta |x-y|}}. We also define the corresponding Exponential McShane-Whitney-type extension, and β\beta-biased convexity, which equivalently characterize β\beta-AM and may be of independent interest. These generalize the classical Absolute Minimizing Lipschitz Extension as a special case when β=0\beta = 0. In Euclidean space with Euclidean norm, this corresponds to the Aronsson equation with Hamiltonian H(u,u)=u+βu, H(u, \nabla u) = |\nabla u| + \beta u, equivalently viscosity solutions of Δβu=0\Delta_{\infty}^{\beta} u = 0. We show that β\beta-AM arises as the continuum value of a biased tug-of-war game. Analogous to the unbiased case, we derive various properties of this extension. As an application, we further show that the linear blow-up property holds for biased infinity harmonic functions.
