Lasry-Lions, Lax-Oleinik and Generalized characteristics

In the recent works \cite{Cannarsa-Chen-Cheng} and \cite{Cannarsa-Cheng3}, an intrinsic approach of the propagation of singularities along the generalized characteristics was obtained, even in global case, by a procedure of sup-convolution with the kernel the fundamental solutions of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi equations. In the present paper, we exploit the relations among Lasry-Lions regularization, Lax-Oleinik operators (or inf/sup-convolution) and generalized characteristics, which are discussed in the context of the variational setting of Tonelli Hamiltonian dynamics, such as Mather theory and weak KAM theory.
