We investigate the stability with respect to homogenization of classes of integrals arising in the control-theoretic interpretation of some Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The prototypical case is the homogenization of energies with a Lagrangian…

In this paper, we study a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation set on the Wasserstein space $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, with a second order term arising from a purely common noise. We do not assume that the Hamiltonian is convex in the…

We show that non-dominated sorting of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables in Euclidean space has a continuum limit that corresponds to solving a Hamilton-Jacobi equation involving the probability density function of the random variables.…
