We identify the Variational Principle governing inifinity-Harmonic maps, that is solutions to the Infinity-Laplacian. The system was first derived in the limit of the p-Laplacian as p->inifinity in [K2] and is recently studied in [K3]. Here…

By employing Aronsson's Absolute Minimizers of $L^\infty$ functionals, we prove that Absolutely Minimizing Maps $u:\R^n \larrow \R^N$ solve a "tangential" Aronsson PDE system. By following Sheffield-Smart \cite{SS}, we derive $\De_\infty$…
