We prove explicit estimates for the error in random homogenization of degenerate, second-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations, assuming the coefficients satisfy a finite range of dependence. In particular, we obtain an algebraic rate of…
The paper deals with path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations with a coinvariant derivative which arise in investigations of optimal control problems and differential games for neutral-type systems in Hale's form. A viscosity (generalized)…
We present a proof of qualitative stochastic homogenization for a nonconvex Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The new idea is to introduce a family of "sub-equations" and to control solutions of the original equation by the maximal subsolutions of…
