Pluri-Lagrangian systems are variational systems with the multi-dimensional consistency property. This notion has its roots in the theory of pluriharmonic functions, in the Z-invariant models of statistical mechanics, in the theory of variational symmetries going back to Noether and in the theory of discrete integrable systems. A d-dimensional pluri-Lagrangian problem can be described as follows: given a d-form L on an mdimensional space, m > d, whose coefficients depend on a function u of m independent variables (called field), find those fields u which deliver critical points to the action functionals S = ∫ L for any d-dimensional manifold in the m-dimensional space. We investigate discrete 2-dimensional linear pluri-Lagrangian systems, i.e., those with quadratic Lagrangians L . The action is a discrete analogue of the Dirichlet energy, and solutions are called discrete pluriharmonic functions. We classify linear pluri-Lagrangian systems with Lagrangians depending on diagonals. They are described by generalizations of the star-triangle map. Examples of more general quadratic Lagrangians are also considered.
