Abstract: The Dirichlet problem ${\displaystyle }$ �egin{cases} Delta_{infty}u-|Du|^2=0 quad ext{on $OmegasubsetRse{t}^n$} u|_{partial Omega}=g end{cases} ${\displaystyle }$ might have many solutions, where $Delt{a}_{infty}u=su{m}_{1leqi,jleqn}{u}_{x_i}{u}_{x_j}{u}_{x_i{x}_j}$. In this paper, we prove that the maximal solution is the unique absolute minimizer for $H(p,z)=1over2|p{|}^2-z$ from calculus of variations in $L^{infty}$ and the minimal solution is the continuum value function from the "tug-of-war" game. We will also characterize graphes of solutions which are neither an absolute minimizer nor a value function. A remaining interesting question is how to interpret those intermediate solutions. Most of our approaches are based on an idea of Barles-Busca [BB].
