In this paper, we consider the following Hamilton-Jacobi equation with initial condition: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \partial_tu(x,t)+H(x,t,u(x,t),\partial_xu(x,t))=0, u(x,0)=\phi(x). \end{cases} \end{equation*} Under some assumptions…

In this paper we study homogenization for a class of monotone systems of first-order time-dependent periodic Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We characterize the Hamiltonians of the limit problem by appropriate cell problems. Hence we show the…
We consider homogenization for weakly coupled systems of Hamilton--Jacobi equations with fast switching rates. The fast switching rate terms force the solutions converge to the same limit, which is a solution of the effective equation. We…

Modern ab initio treatments of H-Hbar systems are inconsistent with the logic behind algebraic Hamiltonians H(+-)=H(0)+/-deltaH for charge-symmetrical and charge-asymmetrical 4 unit charge systems like H(2) and HHbar. Since these 2…
The classical and relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi approach is applied to the one-dimensional homogeneous potential, $V(q)=\alpha q^n$, where $\alpha$ and $n$ are continuously varying parameters. In the non-relativistic case, the exact…
Let $(\Omega, \mu)$ be a probability space endowed with an ergodic action, $\tau$ of $( {\mathbb R} ^n, +)$. Let $H(x,p; \omega)=H_\omega(x,p)$ be a smooth Hamiltonian on $T^* {\mathbb R} ^n$ parametrized by $\omega\in \Omega$ and such that…
We consider the homogenization of monotone systems of viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with convex nonlinearities set in the stationary, ergodic setting. The primary focus of this paper is on collapsing systems which, as the microscopic…
We address the homogenization of a semilinear hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equation with highly oscillating coefficients, in the context of ergodic algebras with mean value. To achieve our goal, we use a suitable variant of…
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…
This paper provides new theoretical connections between multi-time Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equations and variational image decomposition models in imaging sciences. We show that the minimal values of these optimization problems…
We present a simple new proof for the stochastic homogenization of quasiconvex (level-set convex) Hamilton-Jacobi equations set in stationary ergodic environments. Our approach, which is new even in the convex case, yields more information…
We present stochastic homogenization results for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations using a new argument which is based only on the subadditive structure of maximal subsolutions (solutions of the "metric problem"). This permits us to give…
We provide an example of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in which stochastic homogenization does not occur. The Hamiltonian involved in this example satisfies the standard assumptions of the literature, except that it is not convex.
We prove the homogenization of a class of one-dimensional viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with random Hamiltonians that are nonconvex in the gradient variable. Due to the special form of the Hamiltonians, the solutions of these PDEs with…
