2D Born-Infeld electrostatic fields

The electrostatic configurations of the Born-Infeld field in the 2-dimensional Euclidean plane are obtained by means of a non-holomorphic complex mapping which captures the structure of equipotential and field lines. For multipole-like solutions, the electrostatic field reaches the Born-Infeld limit...

Sumario:The electrostatic configurations of the Born-Infeld field in the 2-dimensional Euclidean plane are obtained by means of a non-holomorphic complex mapping which captures the structure of equipotential and field lines. For multipole-like solutions, the electrostatic field reaches the Born-Infeld limit value when the field lines become tangent to an epicycloid around the origin. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
