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 prove optimal regularity for the double obstacle problem when obstacles are given by solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations that are not $C^2$. When the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is not $C^2$ then the standard Bernstein technique fails…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for viability of evolution inclusions with locally monotone operators in the sense of Liu and R\"ockner [J. Funct. Anal., 259 (2010), pp. 2902-2922]. This allows us to prove wellposedness of…
This work is devoted to the studies of a Hamilton--Jacobi equation with a quadratic and degenerate Hamiltonian, which comes from the dynamics of a multipeakon in the Camassa--Holm equation. It is given by a quadratic form with a singular…
We introduce a class of Hamiltonian scattering systems which can be reduced to the "normal form" $\dot P=0$, $\dot Q=P$, by means of a global canonical transformation $ (P,Q)=A(p,q), p,q\in R^n$, defined through asymptotic properties of the…

We consider scalar equilibrium problems governed by a bifunction in a finite-dimensional framework. By using classical arguments in Convex Analysis, we show that under suitable generalized convexity assumptions imposed on the bifunction,…
It has been pointed out in the work [F. Gozzi et.al., \emph{Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.} {163}(4) (2002), 295--327] that the existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions to the first-order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation (HJBE) associated…
An optimal control problem on finite-dimensional positive cones is stated. Under a critical assumption on the cone, the corresponding Bellman equation is satisfied by a linear function, which can be computed by convex optimization. A…
Quantum canonical transformations have attracted interest since the beginning of quantum theory. Based on their classical analogues, one would expect them to provide a powerful quantum tool. However, the difficulty of solving a nonlinear…

Three elementary canonical transformations are shown both to have quantum implementations as finite transformations and to generate, classically and infinitesimally, the full canonical algebra. A general canonical transformation can, in…
We prove comparison principle for viscosity solutions of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in a strong coupling regime considering a stationary and a time-dependent version of the equation. We consider a Hamiltonian that has a…
The causal structure of Einstein's evolution equations is considered. We show that in general they can be written as a first order system of balance laws for any choice of slicing or shift. We also show how certain terms in the evolution…
We consider a Cauchy problem for a (first-order) path-dependent Hamilton--Jacobi equation with coinvariant derivatives and a right-end boundary condition. Such problems arise naturally in the study of properties of the value functional in…
