Two-dimensional solutions for Born-Infeld fields

The non-linear second order Born-Infeld equation is reduced to a simpler first order complex equation, which can be trivially solved for the coordinates as functions of the field. Each solution is determined by the choice of a holomorphic function subjected to boundary conditions. The explanation of...

Sumario:The non-linear second order Born-Infeld equation is reduced to a simpler first order complex equation, which can be trivially solved for the coordinates as functions of the field. Each solution is determined by the choice of a holomorphic function subjected to boundary conditions. The explanation of the method is accompanied by applications to Born-Infeld electrostatics, magnetostatics and wave propagation. © 2013 SISSA, Trieste, Italy.
