while browsing the title/abstract of a preprint of cheη, pοnnusamy, and waηg, i read this excerpt ..
new geometric results about $p$-harmonic mappings?
awesome!
so i clicked on the PDF and read the first page ..
yeah, yeah, $p$-harmonic functions solve $\Delta^pf = 0$ ..
wait: why should $f$ be be $C^{2p}$-smooth?
and then i realised that i mistook a superscript for a subscript. you see, these authors mean $p$ as an exponent for composition,
$$\Delta^pf \;=\; (\underbrace{\Delta \circ \cdots \circ \Delta}_\textrm{ $p$ times })f$$
whereas the $p$-Laplacian that i know and love from the literature is a nonlinear operator:
$$\Delta_pf \;:=\; \operatorname{div}[|\nabla f|^{p-2}\nabla f].$$
[sighs]
either i need more sleep or more coffee, today.
"In this paper, we investigate the properties of $p$-harmonic mappings in the unit disk $|z| \leq 1$. First, we discuss the convexity, the starlikeness and the region of variability of some classes of $p$-harmonic mappings.".. and became excited:
