For the discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equation,$$\lambda u+H(x,d_x u)=0, \ x \in M, $$we construct $C^{1,1}$ subsolutions which are indeed solutions on the projected Aubry set. The smoothness of such subsolutions can be improved under…
Main objects of the paper are stationary and weak KAM Hamilton-Jacobi equations on the finite-dimensional torus. The key idea of the paper is to replace the underlying calculus of variations problems with continuous time Markov decision…
We prove that the entropy solution to a scalar conservation law posed on the real line with a flux that is discontinuous at one point (in the space variable) coincides with the derivative of the solution to a Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation…
We study homogenization of a class of bidimensional stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equations where the Hamiltonian is obtained by perturbing near a half-line of the state space a Hamiltonian that either does not have fast variations with…
For evolutive Hamilton-Jacobi equations, we propose a refined definition of C^0-variational solution, adapted to Cauchy problems for continuous initial data. In this weaker framework we investigate the Markovian (or semigroup) property for…
We study policy iteration (PI) for deterministic infinite-horizon discounted optimal control problems, whose value function is characterized by a stationary Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman (HJB) equation. At the PDE level, PI is fundamentally…
For a convex, coercive continuous Hamiltonian on a compact closed Riemannian manifold $M$, we construct a unique forward weak KAM solution of \[ H(x, d_x u)=c(H) \] by a vanishing discount approach, where $c(H)$ is the Ma\~n\'e critical…
Suppose $M$ is a closed Riemannian manifold. For a $C^2$ generic (in the sense of Ma\~n\'e) Tonelli Hamiltonian $H: T^*M\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, the minimal viscosity solution $u_\lambda^-:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ of the negative discounted…
In this paper, we study the family of inhomogeneous discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equations \begin{equation}\label{hjs1} \lambda(x)u+h(x,d_x u)=c \quad \tag{$\ast$} \end{equation} on a closed manifold $M$ with a non-identically vanishing…
We demonstrate the feasibility of a scheme to obtain approximate weak solutions to the (inviscid) Burgers equation in conservation and Hamilton-Jacobi form, treated as degenerate elliptic problems. We show different variants recover…
We consider the simplest example of a time-dependent first order Hamilton-Jacobi equation, in one space dimension and with a bounded and Lipschitz continuous Hamiltonian which only depends on the spatial derivative. We show that if the…
We investigate in this work a fully-discrete semi-Lagrangian approximation of second order possibly degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations on a bounded domain with oblique boundary conditions. These equations appear naturally in…
We study existence, uniqueness and regularity properties of classical solutions to viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with Caputo time-fractional derivative. Our study relies on a combination of a gradient bound for the time-fractional…
We consider image denoising problems formulated as variational problems. It is known that Hamilton-Jacobi PDEs govern the solution of such optimization problems when the noise model is additive. In this work, we address certain non-additive…
We consider continuous-state and continuous-time control problems where the admissible trajectories of the system are constrained to remain on a union of half-planes which share a common straight line. This set will be named a junction. We…
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation on metric spaces has been studied by several authors; following the approach of Gangbo and Swiech, we show that the final value problem for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation has a unique solution even if we add a…
In this article, we study the ergodic problem associated to viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation where the diffusion is governed by the censored fractional Laplacian, a nonlocal elliptic operator restricted to a bounded domain $\Omega \subset…
The non-exponential Schilder-type theorem in Backhoff-Veraguas, Lacker and Tangpi [Ann. Appl. Probab., 30 (2020), pp. 1321-1367] is expressed as a convergence result for path-dependent partial differential equations with appropriate notions…
Newman and Rovelli have used singular Hamilton-Jacobi transformations to reduce the phase space of general relativity in terms of the Ashtekar variables. Their solution of the gauge constraint cannot be inverted and indeed has no Minkowski…
We study the Cauchy problem of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with the spatial variable in a closed convex cone. A monotonicity assumption on the nonlinearity allows us to prescribe no condition on the boundary of the cone. We show the…
