We prove that the viscosity solution to a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a smooth convex Hamiltonian of the form $H(x,p)$ is differentiable with respect to the initial condition. Moreover, the directional G\^ateaux derivatives can be…

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…
In this paper, we consider first order Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations posed on a ``junction'', that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. For this continuous HJ problem, we propose a finite…
We introduce a notion of approximate viscosity solution for a class of nonlinear path-dependent PDEs (PPDEs), including the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman type equations. Existence, comparaison and stability results are established under fairly…
Uniqueness of positive solutions to viscous Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations of the form $-\Delta u(x) + \frac{1}{\gamma} |D{u}(x)|^\gamma = f(x) - \lambda$, with $f$ a coercive function and $\lambda$ a constant, in the subquadratic…

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…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with large drift terms, where the drift terms are given by the Hamiltonian vector fields of Hamiltonian $H$. This is an attempt to…
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 rates of convergence for two approximation schemes of time-independent and time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equ-ations with Kirchoff junction conditions. We analyze the vanishing viscosity limit and monotone finite-difference…
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…
For non convex Hamiltonians, the viscosity solution and the more geometric minimax solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation do not coincide in general. They are nevertheless related: we show that iterating the minimax procedure during…
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…
We show that any classical solution of the diffusive Hamilton-Jacobi (DHJ) equation $-\Delta u= |\nabla u|^p$ in a half-space with zero boundary conditions for $1<p\le 2$ is necessarily one-dimensional. This improves the previously known…
The present paper first aims to study the BV-type regularity for viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation \[ u_t(t,x)+H\big(D_{x} u(t,x)\big)~=~0\qquad\forall (t,x)\in ]0,\infty[\times\mathbb{R}^d \] with a coercive and uniformly…
It is well known that a generic small perturbation of a Liouville-integrable Hamiltonian system causes breakup of resonant and near-resonant invariant tori. A general approach to the simple resonance case in the convex real-analytic setting…
In this note, we show the existence of regular solutions to the stationary version of the Navier-Stokes system for compressible fluids with a density dependent viscosity, known as the shallow water equations. For arbitrary large forcing we…
We provide some new integral estimates for solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations and we discuss several consequences, ranging from $L^p$-rates of convergence for the vanishing viscosity approximation to regularizing effects for the Cauchy…
