Abstract: For a Hamiltonian $Kin{C}^2(mathbb{R}^{Nimesn})$ and a map $u:Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^{n}longrightarrowmathbb{R}^N$, we consider the supremal functional [ label{1} ag{1} E_infty (u,Omega)  := �ig|K(Du)�ig|_{L^infty(Omega)} . ] The "Euler-Lagrange" PDE associated to eqref{1} is the quasilinear system [ label{2} A_infty u , :=, Big(K_P otimes K_P + K[K_P]^�ot K_{PP}Big)(Du):D^2 u , = , 0. ag{2} ] Here $K_P$ is the derivative and $$ is the projection on its nullspace. eqref{1} and eqref{2} are the fundamental objects of vector-valued Calculus of Variations in $L^{i}nfty$ and first arose in recent work of the author cite{K1}-cite{K6}. Herein we apply our results to Geometric Analysis by choosing as $K$ the dilation function [ K(P)={|P|^2}{det(P^ op P)^{-1/n}} ] which measures the deviation of $u$ from being conformal. Our main result is that appropriately defined minimisers of eqref{1} solve eqref{2}. Hence, PDE methods can be used to study optimised quasiconformal maps. Nonconvexity of $K$ and appearance of interfaces where $$ is discontinuous cause extra difficulties. When $n=N$, this approach has previously been followed by Capogna-Raich cite{CR} and relates to Teichm"uller's theory. In particular, we disprove a conjecture appearing therein.
