We study the periodic homogenization of the viscous Hamilton--Jacobi equation \[ u_t^\varepsilon + \frac{1}{2}|Du^\varepsilon|^2 + V\!\left(\frac{x}{\varepsilon}\right) = \frac{\varepsilon}{2}\Delta u^\varepsilon \qquad \text{in }…

We consider a sequence of finite irreducible Markov chains with exponentially small transition rates: the transition graph is a fixed, finite, strongly connected directed graph; the transition rates decay exponentially on a paramenter N…
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…
In this paper we present explicit estimate for Lipschitz constant of solution to a problem of calculus of variations. The approach we use is due to Gamkrelidze and is based on the equivalence of the problem of calculus of variations and a…
We study the Cauchy problem for the first order evolutive Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a Lipschitz initial condition. The Hamiltonian is not necessarily convex in the momentum variable and not a priori compactly supported. We build and…

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with large drift term in an open subset of two-dimensional Euclidean space. When the drift is given by $\varepsilon^{-1} (H_{x_2}, -H_{x_1})$ of a Hamiltonian…
A new concept of viscosity solutions, namely, the Hausdorff continuous viscosity solution for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is defined and investigated. It is shown that the main ideas within the classical theory of continuous viscosity…
Reduction theory has played a major role in the study of Hamiltonian systems. On the other hand, the Hamilton-Jacobi theory is one of the main tools to integrate the dynamics of certain Hamiltonian problems and a topic of research on its…
In this article we provide a Hamilton-Jacobi formalism in locally conformally symplectic manifolds. Our interest in the Hamilton-Jacobi theory comes from the suitability of this theory as an integration method for dynamical systems, whilst…
The geometric formulation of Hamilton--Jacobi theory for systems with nonholonomic constraints is developed, following the ideas of the authors in previous papers. The relation between the solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi problem with the…
We demonstrate a systematic method for solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for general relativity with the inclusion of matter fields. The generating functional is expanded in a series of spatial gradients. Each term is manifestly…
The Hamiltonian treatment of constrained systems in $G\ddot{u}ler's$ formalism leads us to the total differential equations in many variables. These equations are integrable if the corresponding system of partial differential equations is a…
Recently the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation for first order constrained systems has been developed. In such formalism the equations of motion are written as total differential equations in many variables. We generalize the Hamilton-Jacobi…
We study the large time behavior of Lipschitz continuous, possibly unbounded, viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi Equations in the whole space $\R^N$. The associated ergodic problem has Lipschitz continuous solutions if the analogue of…
A variational analysis is presented for the generalized spiked harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian operator H, where H = -(d/dx)^2 + Bx^2+ A/x^2 + lambda/x^alpha, and alpha and lambda are real positive parameters. The formalism makes use of a…
In this paper we study the existence of sufficiently regular representations of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in optimal control theory with the compact control set. We introduce a new method to construct representations for a wide class of…
We propose a novel approach to contact Hamiltonian mechanics which, in contrast to the one dominating in the literature, serves also for non-trivial contact structures. In this approach Hamiltonians are no longer functions on the contact…
