Based on the Lagrangian of the steady axisymmetric force-free magnetosphere (FFM) equation around Kerr black holes (KBHs), we find that the FFM equation can be rewritten in a new form as class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0370269316303008&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0370269316303008&_rdoc=1&_issn=03702693&md5=4df0a600654b778443ddd0d19bf2f53a" title="Click to view the MathML source">f,rr/(1−μ2)+f,μμ/Δ+K(f(r,μ),r,μ)=0class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">, where class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0370269316303008&_mathId=si2.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0370269316303008&_rdoc=1&_issn=03702693&md5=e40ffd5b7ea2103b409a2de7bf8bcfe9" title="Click to view the MathML source">μ=−cosθclass="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">.
