Abstract:

We investigate the limiting behavior of solutions to the inhomogeneous $p$-Laplacian equation $-\Delta_p u = \mu_p$ subject to Neumann boundary conditions. For right hand sides which are arbitrary signed measures we show that solutions converge to a Kantorovich potential associated with the geodesic Wasserstein-$1$ distance. In the regular case with continuous right hand sides we characterize the limit as viscosity solution to an infinity Laplacian eikonal type equation.
