Abstract: In this paper, we deal with the electrostatic Born-Infeld equation �egin{equation}label{eq:BI-abs} ag{$mathcalBI$} left{ �egin{array}{ll} -operatorname{div}left(displaystylefrac{

abla phi}{sqrt{1-|

abla phi|^2}} ight)= ho, & hbox{in } mathbb{R}^N, \ displaystylelim_{|x| o infty}phi(x)= 0, end{array} ight. end{equation} where $ho$ is an assigned extended charge density. We are interested in the existence and uniqueness of the potential $phi$ and finiteness of the energy of the electrostatic field $-ablaphi$. We first relax the problem and treat it with the direct method of the Calculus of Variations for a broad class of charge densities. Assuming $ho$ is radially distributed, we recover the weak formulation of eqref{eq:BI-abs} and the regularity of the solution of the Poisson equation (under the same smootheness assumptions). In the case of a locally bounded charge, we also recover the weak formulation without assuming any symmetry. The solution is even classical if $ho$ is smooth. Then we analyze the case where the density $ho$ is a superposition of point charges and discuss the results in [Kiessling, Comm. Math. Phys. 314 (2012), 509--523]. Other models are discussed, as for instance a system arising from the coupling of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with the Born-Infeld theory.
