Abstract:
Let
be a smooth map and
.
The
-Laplacian
is the PDE system
where
.
This system constitutes the fundamental equation of vectorial calculus
of variations in
,
associated with the model functional
We show that generalised solutions to the system can be characterised in
terms of the functional via a set of designated affine variations.
For the scalar case N=1, we utilize the theory of viscosity solutions
by Crandall-Ishii-Lions. For the vectorial case
,
we utilize
the recently proposed by the author theory of
-solutions.
Moreover, we extend the result described above to the p-Laplacian,
