We can incorporate a "time" evolution into thermodynamics as a Hamilton-Jacobi dynamics. A set of the equations of states in thermodynamics is considered as the generalized eikonal equation, which is equivalent to Hamilton-Jacobi equation.…

It has earlier been argued that there should exist a formulation of quantum mechanics which does not refer to a background spacetime. In this paper we propose that, for a relativistic particle, such a formulation is provided by a…

We prove stochastic homogenization for a general class of coercive, nonconvex Hamilton-Jacobi equations in one space dimension. Some properties of the effective Hamiltonian arising in the nonconvex case are also discussed.
We generalize the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation for higher order singular systems and obtain the equations of motion as total differential equations. To do this we first study the constraint structure present in such systems.
We consider the numerical solution of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations arising in stochastic control theory. We introduce a class of monotone approximation schemes relying on monotone interpolation. These schemes converge under very weak…

It is well known that nonrelativistic quantum mechanics presents a clear asymmetry between space and time. Much of this asymmetry is attributed to the lack of Lorentz invariance of the theory. Nonetheless, a recent work [Phys. Rev. A…
