On 1-Harmonic Functions

Characterizations of entire subsolutions for the 1-harmonic equation of a constant 1-tension field are given with applications in geometry via transformation group theory. In particular, we prove that every level hypersurface of such a subsolution is calibrated and hence is area-minimizing over $mat...
