It is well-known that solutions to the basic problem in the calculus of variations may fail to be Lipschitz continuous when the Lagrangian depends on t. Similarly, for viscosity solutions to time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations one…

We consider Hamilton--Jacobi equations, where the Hamiltonian depends discontinuously on both the spatial and temporal location. Our main results are the existence and well--posedness of a viscosity solution to the Cauchy problem. We define…

The aim of this article is twofold. First, we develop a unified framework for viscosity solutions to both first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations and semilinear Hamilton-Jacobi equations driven by the idiosyncratic operator, defined on the…

We consider the problem of finding a real number lambda and a function u satisfying the PDE max{lambda -\Delta u -f,|Du|-1}=0, for all x in R^n. Here f is a convex, superlinear function. We prove that there is a unique lambda* such that the…

We consider a class of stationary viscous Hamilton--Jacobi equations as $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \la u-{\rm div}(A(x) \nabla u)=H(x,\nabla u)\mbox{in }\Omega, u=0{on}\partial\Omega\end{array} \right. $$ where $\la\geq 0$, $A(x)$ is a…
