Abstract

For any compact connected manifold MM, we consider the generalized contact Hamiltonian H(x,p,u)H(x,p,u) defined on TM×RT^*M\times\mathbb R which is conex in pp and monotonically increasing in uu. Let uϵ:MRu_\epsilon^-:M\rightarrow\mathbb R be the viscosity solution of the parametrized contact Hamilton-Jacobi equation H(x,xuϵ(x),ϵuϵ(x))=c(H) H(x,\partial_x u_\epsilon^-(x),\epsilon u_\epsilon^-(x))=c(H) with c(H)c(H) being the Ma\~n\'e Critical Value. We prove that uϵu_\epsilon^- converges uniformly, as ϵ0+\epsilon\rightarrow 0_+, to a specfic viscosity solution u0u_0^- of the critical equation H(x,xu0(x),0)=c(H) H(x,\partial_x u_0^-(x),0)=c(H) which can be characterized as a minimal combination of associated Peierls barrier functions.
