We study the Dirichlet problem $-\div(|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2} \nabla u) =0 $ in $\Omega$, with $u=f$ on $\partial \Omega$ and $p(x) = \infty$ in $D$, a subdomain of the reference domain $\Omega$. The main issue is to give a proper sense to what…

First, we obtain a new formula for Bremermann type upper envelopes, that arise frequently in convex analysis and pluripotential theory, in terms of the Legendre transform of the convex- or plurisubharmonic-envelope of the boundary data.…
