Abstract

The limit equation of the p-Laplace equation as \(p\rightarrow \infty \) is a very fascinating one. In two variables it is the equation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For viscosity solutions some care is called for, see [HF].

  2. 2.

    This result due to Grandall and Zhang has the consequence that the “mysterious inequality”

    $$ \iiint \frac{|x-c|^2\langle x-a,x-b\rangle -\langle x-a,x-c\rangle \langle x-b, x-c\rangle }{|x-a||x-b||x-c|^3}\varrho (a)\varrho (b)\varrho (c)dadbdc\ge 0 $$

    has to hold for all compactly supported densities \(\varrho \).

  3. 3.

    This is taken from my lecture notes in [L4].
