Minimisers of supremal functionals and mass-minimising 1-currents

Nikos Katzourakis, Roger Moser

Published 2024-03-11Version 1

We study vector-valued functions that minimise the $L^\infty$-norm of their derivatives for prescribed boundary data. We construct a vector-valued, mass minimising $1$-current (i.e., a generalised geodesic) in the domain such that all solutions of the problem coincide on its support. Furthermore, this current can be interpreted as a streamline of the solutions. It also has maximal support among all $1$-currents with certain properties. The construction relies on a $p$-harmonic approximation. In the case of scalar-valued functions, it is closely related to a construction of Evans and Yu. We therefore obtain an extension of their theory.
