Abstract

In this paper, we discuss all the possible pairs (u,c)C(M,R)×R(u,c)\in C(M,\mathbb R)\times\mathbb R solving (in the sense of viscosity) the contact Hamilton-Jacobi equation H(x,dxu,u)=c,xM H (x, d_xu, u) = c,\quad x\in M of which MM is a closed manifold and the continuous Hamiltonian H:(x,p,u)TM×RRH: (x,p,u)\in T^*M\times\mathbb R\rightarrow\mathbb R is convex, coercive in pp but merely non-decreasing in uu. Firstly, we propose a comparison principle for solutions by using the dynamical information of Mather measures. We then describe the structure of C\mathfrak C containing all the cRc\in\mathbb R makes previous equation solvable. We also propose examples to verify the optimality of our approach.
