We show a connection between global unconstrained optimization of a continuous function $f$ and weak KAM theory for an eikonal-type equation arising also in ergodic control. A solution $v$ of the critical Hamilton-Jacobi equation is built…
It has been proved in [10] that the unique viscosity solution of \begin{equation}\label{abs}\tag{*} \lambda u_\lambda+H(x,d_x u_\lambda)=c(H)\qquad\hbox{in $M$}, \end{equation} uniformly converges, for $\lambda\rightarrow 0^+$, to a…
We study quantitative large-time averages for Hamilton--Jacobi equations in a dynamic random environment that is stationary ergodic and has unit-range dependence in time. Our motivation comes from stochastic growth models related to the…
We provide a criterion for establishing lower bounds on the rate of convergence in $f$-variation of a continuous-time ergodic Markov process to its invariant measure. The criterion consists of novel super- and submartingale conditions for…
In this note we show that if a continuous-time, nonlinear, time-invariant, finite-dimensional system evolves on a compact subset of Rn and if the Jacobian of the vector field is Hurwitz at each point of the compact set, then there is a…
We establish a well-posedness and error-estimation framework that solves Hamilton-Jacobi equations by minimizing the least-squares residual of monotone finite-difference discretizations. This approach also applies naturally to second-order…
We study a generalized vanishing discount problem for Hamilton--Jacobi equations, removing the standard monotonicity assumption, either in a global sense or when integrated against all Mather measures. Specifically, we consider \[ \lambda…
Subdiffusive motion takes place at a much slower timescale than diffusive motion. As a preliminary step to studying reaction-subdiffusion pulled fronts, we consider here the hyperbolic limit $(t,x) \to (t/\varepsilon, x/\varepsilon)$ of an…
Motivated by the evolution of a population in a slowly varying random environment, we consider the 1D Anderson model on finite volume, with viscosity $ \kappa > 0 $: $$ \partial_{t} u(t,x) = \kappa \Delta u(t,x) + \xi(t, x) u(t,x), \quad…

This paper is devoted to the study of acceleration methods for an inequality constrained convex optimization problem by using Lyapunov functions. We first approximate such a problem as an unconstrained optimization problem by employing the…
We consider a stochastic discretization of the stationary viscous Hamilton Jacobi equation on the flat d dimensional torus, associated with a Hamiltonian, convex and superlinear in the momentum variable. We show that each discrete problem…
Given a continuous Hamiltonian $H : (x,p,u) \mapsto H(x,p,u)$ defined on $ T^*M \times \mathbb R $, where $M$ is a closed connected manifold, we study viscosity solutions, $u_\lambda : M\to \mathbb R$, of discounted equations: $ H(x, d_x…
We prove rate of convergence results for singular perturbations of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in unbounded spaces where the fast operator is linear, uniformly elliptic and has an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-type drift. The slow operator is a fully…
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…
We determine the large-time behavior of unbounded solutions for the so-called viscous Hamilton Jacobi equation, $u_t - \Delta u + |Du|^m = f(x)$, in the quadratic and subquadratic cases (i.e., for $1<m\leq 2$), with a particular focus on…
Global classical solutions to the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation with homogenious Dirichlet boundary conditions are shown to converge to zero at the same speed as the linear heat semigroup when p > 1. For p = 1, an exponential decay to…
