In this paper, we explain some facts on the discrete case of weak KAM theory. In that setting, the Lagrangian is replaced by a cost $c:X\times X \to \mathbb{R}$, on a "reasonable" space $X$. This covers for example the case of periodic…
We expose different methods of regularizations of subsolutions in the context of discrete weak KAM theory. They allow to prove the existence and the density of $C^{1,1}$ subsolutions. Moreover, these subsolutions can be made strict and…
This paper is concerned with the study of Aubry-Mather and weak KAM theories for contact Hamiltonian systems with Hamiltonians $H(x,u,p)$ defined on $T^*M\times\mathbb{R}$, satisfying Tonelli conditions with respect to $p$ and…
In this paper we consider the notion of commutation for a pair of continuous and convex Hamiltonians, given in terms of commutation of their Lax- Oleinik semigroups. This is equivalent to the solvability of an associated multi- time…
For a symplectic twist map, we prove that there is a choice of weak K.A.M. solutions that depend in a continuous way on the cohomology class. We thus obtain a continuous function $u(\theta, c)$ in two variables: the angle $\theta$ and the…
We derive a discrete version of the results of our previous work. If $M$ is a compact metric space, $c : M\times M \to \mathbb R$ a continuous cost function and $\lambda \in (0,1)$, the unique solution to the discrete $\lambda$-discounted…
We prove continuity of certain cost functions arising from optimal control of affine control systems. We give sharp sufficient conditions for this continuity. As an application, we prove a version of weak KAM theorem and consider the…
We extend weak KAM theory to Lagrangians that are defined only on the horizontal distribution of a sub-Riemannian manifold. The main tool is Tonelli's theorem which allows dispending on a Lagrangian dynamics.
For exact symplectic twist maps of the annulus, we etablish a choice of weak K.A.M. solutions $u_c=u(\cdot, c)$ that depend in a Lipschitz-continuous way on the cohomology class $c$. This allows us to make a bridge between weak K.A.M.…
We show a new functional limit theorem for weakly dependent regularly varying sequences of random vectors. As it turns out, the convergence takes place in the space of R^d valued c\`{a}dl\`{a}g functions endowed with the so-called weak M1…
In this paper, we consider a time independent $C^2$ Hamiltonian, sa\-tisfying the usual hypothesis of the classical Calculus of Variations, on a non-compact connected manifold. Using the Lax-Oleinik semigroup, we give a proof of the…
In general, the critical points of the distance function $d_{\mathsf{M}}$ to a compact submanifold $\mathsf{M} \subset \mathbb{R}^D$ can be poorly behaved. In this article, we show that this is generically not the case by listing regularity…
We introduce a proximal subdifferential and develop a calculus for nonsmooth functions defined on any Riemannian manifold $M$. We give several applications of this theory, concerning: 1) differentiability and geometrical properties of the…
We introduce a notion of upper Green regular solutions to the Lax-Oleinik semi-group that is defined on the set of $C^0$ functions of a closed manifold via a Tonelli Lagrangian. Then we prove some weak $C^2$ convergence results to such a…
In discrete schemes, weak KAM solutions may be interpreted as approximations of correctors for some Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the periodic setting. It is known that correctors may not exist in the almost periodic setting. We show the…
We prove that any continuous and convex stationary ergodic Hamiltonian admits critical subsolutions, which are strict outside the random Aubry set. They make up, in addition, a dense subset of all critical subsolutions with respect to a…
We prove multiplicity theorems for Keller $ C_c^1 $-functionals on Frechet spaces and Finsler manifolds which are invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup. For such functionals, we evaluate the minimal number of critical points by…
In this paper, we establish the interior $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of minimizers of a class of functionals with a convexity constraint, which includes the principal-agent problems studied by Figalli-Kim-McCann (\textit{J. Econom. Theory}…
This work extends weak KAM theory to the case of a nonsmooth Lagrangian satisfying a superlinear growth condition. Using the solution of a weak KAM equation that is a stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the proximal aiming method, we…
Using techniques for Caccioppoli inequality, on a fairly general class of complete non-compact K\"ahler manifolds with sub-quadratic volume growth, we show uniqueness of bounded $C^{1,1}$ solution to Monge-Ampere equation. This does not a…
