Abstract

We consider the following evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi equation with initial condition: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \partial_tu(x,t)+H(x,u(x,t),\partial_xu(x,t))=0,\\ u(x,0)=\phi(x), \end{cases} \end{equation*} where ϕ(x)C(M,R)\phi(x)\in C(M,\mathbb{R}). Under some assumptions on the convexity of H(x,u,p)H(x,u,p) with respect to pp and the uniform Lipschitz of H(x,u,p)H(x,u,p) with respect to uu, we establish a variational principle and provide an intrinsic relation between viscosity solutions and certain minimal characteristics. By introducing an implicitly defined {\it fundamental solution}, we obtain a variational representation formula of the viscosity solution of the evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Moreover, we discuss the large time behavior of the viscosity solution of the evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi equation and provide a dynamical representation formula of the viscosity solution of the stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equation with strictly increasing H(x,u,p)H(x,u,p) with respect to uu.
