The infinity Laplace equation Δ ∞ u = 0 arose originally as a sort of Euler-Lagrange equation governing the absolute minimizer for the L ∞ variational problem of minimizing the functional ess-sup U |Du|. The more general functional ess-sup U F(x, u, Du) leads similarly to the so-called Aronsson equation A F [u] = 0. In this paper we show that these PDE operators and various interesting generalizations also appear in several other contexts seemingly quite unrelated to L ∞ variational problems, including two-person game theory with random order of play, rapid switching of states in control problems, etc. The resulting equations can be parabolic and inhomogeneous, equation types precluded in conventional L ∞ variational problems.
