Abstract: Let $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded open $C^{1,1}$ set. In this paper we prove the existence of a unique second order absolute minimiser $u_{i}nfty$ of the functional [ mathrm{E}_infty (u,mathcal{O}), :=, | mathrm{F}(cdot, Delta u) |_{L^infty( mathcal{O} )}, mathcal{O} subseteq Omega ext{ measurable}, ] with prescribed boundary conditions for $u$ and $mathrmDu$ on $partialOmega$ and under natural assumptions on $mathrmF$. We also show that $u_{i}nfty$ is partially smooth and there exists a harmonic function $f_{i}nftyin{L}^1(Omega)$ such that [ mathrm{F}(x, Delta u_infty(x)) , =, e_infty, mathrm{sgn}�ig(f_infty(x)�ig) ] for all $xin{f}_{i}nftyeq0$, where $e_{i}nfty$ is the infimum of the global energy.
