For a bounded domain $U\subset\rn$, consider the $L^\fz$-functional involving a nonnegative Hamilton function $H:\overline U\times\rn\to [0,\fz)$. In this paper, we will establish the uniqueness of absolute minimizers $u\in…

In this paper the existence of an absolute minimizer for a functional \[ F(u,\Omega) = \underset{x \in \Omega}{\text{ess sup}} \, f (x, u(x), Du(x)) \] is proved by using Perron's method. The function is assumed to be quasiconvex and…

We consider the functional $$J(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|\nabla v|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f:[0,+\infty)\to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function vanishing for $s\in [0,\sigma]$, with $\sigma>0$. We prove that a minimizer…

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 $\De_\infty$…

We discuss two distinct minimality principles for general supremal first order functionals for maps and characterise them through solvability of associated second order PDE systems. Specifically, we consider Aronsson's standard notion of…

Let F be nonnegative, convex and smooth off a compact set K. We prove that continuous local minimisers of convex functionals are "very weak" viscosity solutions in the sense of Juutinen-Lindqvist of the highly singular Euler-Lagrange PDE…

For any open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ and $n\ge 2$, we establish everywhere differentiability of viscosity solutions to the Aronsson equation $$ <D_x(H(x, Du)), D_p H(x, Du)>=0 \quad \rm in\ \ \Omega, $$ where $H$ is given by…
