Well-posedness for constrained Hamilton-Jacobi equations
Abstract
The goal of this paper is to study a Hamilton-Jacobi equation \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t=H(Du)+R(x,I(t)) &\text{in }\mathbb{R}^n \times (0,\infty), \sup_{\mathbb{R}^n} u(\cdot,t)=0 &\text{on }[0,\infty), \end{cases} \end{equation*} with initial conditions , on . Here is a pair of unknowns and the Hamiltonian and the reaction are given. And is an unknown constraint (Lagrange multiplier) that forces supremum of to be always zero. We construct a solution in the viscosity setting using a fixed point argument when the reaction term is strictly decreasing in . We also discuss both uniqueness and nonuniqueness. For uniqueness, a certain structural assumption on is needed. We also provide an example with infinitely many solutions when the reaction term is not strictly decreasing in .
