Abstract

Let uu be the unique nonnegative viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation H(x,u)=0H(x,\nabla u)=0 in the external domain RnK{\mathbb R}^{ n} \setminus K with u=0u=0 on KK. Under general conditions on HH, we prove that all sublevels of uu are John domains. Moreover, if KK itself is a John domain, we provide a uniform lower bound on the John constant of all sublevels. We exhibit counterexamples showing that John regularity is sharp in this setting.
