First eigenfunctions of the 1-Laplacian are viscosity solutions

 1 Mathematisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, 50923 Köln 2 Fachrichtung Mathematik, Technische Universität Dresden,01062 Dresden, Germany

Received  February 2014 Revised  March 2014 Published  September 2014

We address the question if eigenfunctions of the 1-Laplacian, which are obtained through a variational argument, are also viscosity solutions of the associated strongly degenerate formal Euler equation. The answer is positive, but examples show also that there are many more viscosity solutions than expected.
