The electrostatic Born-Infeld equations with integrable charge densities

Publication date 15 June 2020

Abstract: We study the minimizer of the electrostatic Born--Infeld energy �egin{equation*} int_{mathbb{R}^n}1-sqrt{1-|D v|^2} dx-int_{mathbb{R}^n} ho v dx, end{equation*} which vanishes at infinity. We show that the minimizer

u

is strictly spacelike and it is a weak solution to �egin{equation*}-operatorname{div}Big(frac{D u}{sqrt{1-|D u|^2}}Big)= ho,end{equation*} provided that

h o

is in the dual space of the solution space and

h o i n L^{p} (m a t h b b R^{n})

, for some

p > n g e q 3

. Moreover, we have

u i n C^{1, a l p h a} (m a t h b b R^{n})

for some

a l p h a i n (0, 1)
