The viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation was constructed by an "iterated minimax" procedure. Using Dafermos' front tracking method, we give another proof of this construction in the case of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in one…

We study the homogenization of first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, motivated by systems of infinitely many indistinguishable particles on the torus. A central difficulty is that the analysis takes…

Unbounded stochastic control problems may lead to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations whose Hamiltonians are not always defined, especially when the diffusion term is unbounded with respect to the control. We obtain existence and uniqueness…
