Abstract: In this paper we initiate the study of $2$nd order variational problems in $L^{i}nfty$, seeking to minimise the $L^{i}nfty$ norm of a function of the hessian. We also derive and study the respective PDE arising as the analogue of the Euler-Lagrange equation. Given $mathrmHin{C}^1(mathbb{R}_s^{nimesn})$, for the functional [ label{1} mathrm{E}_infty(u,mathcal{O}), =, �ig| mathrm{H}�ig(mathrm{D}^2 u�ig) �ig|_{L^infty(mathcal{O})}, uin W^{2,infty}(Omega), mathcal{O}subseteq Omega, ag{1} ] the associated equation is the fully nonlinear 3rd order PDE [ label{2} mathrm{A}^2_infty u, :=,�ig(mathrm{H}_X�ig(mathrm{D}^2u�ig)�ig)^{otimes 3}:�ig(mathrm{D}^3u�ig)^{otimes 2}, =,0. ag{2} ] Special cases arise when $mathrmH$ is the Euclidean length of either the full hessian or of the Laplacian, leading to the $infty$-Polylaplacian and the $infty$-Bilaplacian respectively. We establish several results for eqref{1} and eqref{2}, including existence of minimisers, of absolute minimisers and of "critical point" generalised solutions, proving also variational characterisations and uniqueness. We also construct explicit generalised solutions and perform numerical experiments.
