Abstract

We study $\infty$-Ground states in convex domains in the plane. In a polygon, the points where an $\infty$-Ground state does not satisfy the $\infty$-Laplace Equation are characterized: they are restricted to lie on specific curves, which are acting as attracting (fictitious) streamlines. The gradient is continuous outside these curves and no streamlines can meet there.
