Abstract: For an elliptic, semilinear differential operator of the form $S(u)=A:D^{2}u+b(x,u,Du)$, consider the functional $E_{i}nfty(u)=mathop{mathrmess,sup}_{O}mega|S(u)|$. We study minimisers of $E_{i}nfty$ for prescribed boundary data. Because the functional is not differentiable, this problem does not give rise to a conventional Euler-Lagrange equation. Under certain conditions, we can nevertheless give a system of partial differential equations that all minimisers must satisfy. Moreover, the condition is equivalent to a weaker version of the variational problem.
