Abstract

We investigate the convergence rate in the vanishing viscosity process of the solutions to the subquadratic state-constraint Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We give two different proofs of the fact that, for nonnegative Lipschitz data that vanish on the boundary, the rate of convergence is O(ε)\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{\varepsilon}) in the interior. Moreover, the one-sided rate can be improved to O(ε)\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon) for nonnegative compactly supported data and O(ε1/(p12))\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{1/(p-\frac{1}{2})}) (where 1<p21<p\leq 2 is the exponent of the gradient term) for nonnegative data fC2(Ω)f\in \mathrm{C}^2(\overline{\Omega}) such that f=0f = 0 and Df=0Df = 0 on the boundary. Our approach relies on deep understanding of the blow-up behavior near the boundary and semiconcavity of the solutions.
