We study the inverse problem, or inverse design problem, for a time-evolution Hamilton-Jacobi equation. More precisely, given a target function $u_T$ and a time horizon $T>0$, we aim to construct all the initial conditions for which the…

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…

Viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation were introduced by Lions and Crandall. For Tonelli Hamiltonians, these solutions are generated by the Lax-Oleinik operator. It is known that this operator converges in the autonomous…

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

Solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation $H(x,-Du(x))=1$, with $H(\cdot,p)$ H\"older continuous and $H(x,\cdot)$ convex and positively homogeneous of degree 1, are shown to be locally semiconcave with a power-like modulus. An essential…
