Infinity-harmonic functions and inverse mean curvature flow clusters
Abstract
An $\infty$-harmonic function is a viscosity solution of $\nabla^2 u(\nabla u,\nabla u)=0$, or equivalently, an absolute minimizer of $\|\nabla u\|_{L^\infty}$. We prove a variety of new structural and regularity results in two dimensions, including:
1. $\infty$-harmonic functions in domains of $\mathbb{R}^2$ are $C^{1,1/3}$.
2. Critical points are isolated, and at each critical point, the solution has a unique quasiradial blow-up.
3. Entire solutions with polynomial growth have unique quasiradial blow-downs, and are determined by their Fourier modes at infinity.
These results are consequences of a new theory relating $\infty$-harmonic functions to inverse mean curvature flow (IMCF) clusters -- which are piecewise weak solutions of IMCF with common obstacle-type boundary conditions on the interfaces (a simple example is an embedded family of cuspidal curves evolving by inverse curvature). This connection arises as the $p\to\infty$ limit of the classical duality between $p$-harmonic and $q$-harmonic functions in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $\frac1p+\frac1q=1$.
