Infinity-Harmonic Function


An infinity-harmonic function is a solution of Delta_inftyu=0, where Delta_infty is the unnormalized infinity Laplacian. For a continuous function, the viscosity interpretation requires Delta_inftyphi(x)>=0 whenever a twice continuously differentiable test function phi touches u from above at x, and the reverse inequality for a test touching from below. Tests whose gradient is zero are included. Affine functions are examples.
