The p-Laplacian is the nonlinear divergence-form operator
Δp​u=div(∣Du∣p−2Du).
(1)
It is the Euler-Lagrange operator of the p-energy. For p>2 it is degenerately elliptic where Du=0.

The \( p \)-Laplacian is a nonlinear generalization of the classical Laplace operator, typically denoted as \( \Delta_p \). It is used extensively in the study of partial differential equations (PDEs) and variational problems.
