Comparison principle for general nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equations with superlinear gradient

Analysis of PDEs 2024-09-18 v1

Abstract

We obtain the comparison principle for discontinuous viscosity sub- and supersolutions of nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equations, with superlinear and coercive gradient terms. The nonlocal terms are integro-differential operators in L\'evy form, with general measures: xx-dependent, possibly degenerate and without any restriction on the order. The measures must satisfy a combined Wasserstein/Total Variation-continuity assumption, which is one of the weakest conditions used in the context of viscosity approach for this type of integro-differential PDEs. The proof relies on a regularizing effect due to the gradient growth. We present several examples of applications to PDEs with different types of nonlocal operators (measures with density, operators of variable order, L\'evy-It\^o operators).
