Abstract

For HC2(RN×n)\mathrm{H} \in C^2(\mathbb{R}^{N \times n}) and u:ΩRnRNu : \Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^N, consider the system \label1A_u:=(H_PH_P+H[H_P]H_PP)(Du):D2u=0.(1) \label{1}\mathrm{A}\_\infty u\, :=\,\Big(\mathrm{H}\_P \otimes \mathrm{H}\_P + \mathrm{H}[\mathrm{H}\_P]^\bot \mathrm{H}\_{PP}\Big)(\mathrm{D} u): \mathrm{D}^2 u\, =\,0. \tag{1}We construct D\mathcal{D}-solutions to the Dirichlet problem for (1), an apt notion of generalised solutions recently proposed for fully nonlinear systems. Our D\mathcal{D}-solutions are W1,W^{1,\infty}-submersions and are obtained without any convexity hypotheses for H\mathrm{H}, through a result of independent interest involving existence of strong solutions to the singular value problem for general dimensions nNn\neq N.
