We obtain a new Liouville comparison principle for weak solutions $(u,v)$ of semilinear parabolic second-order partial differential inequalities of the form $$u_t -{\mathcal L}u- |u|^{q-1}u\geq v_t -{\mathcal L}v- |v|^{q-1}v (*)$$ in the…
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…
In this paper, we mainly focus on the existence of the viscosity solutions of \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &H_1(x,Du_1(x),u_1(x),u_2(x))=0,\\ &H_2(x,Du_2(x),u_2(x),u_1(x))=0. \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} The standard…
By using the Jensen's maximum principle and the Alexandrov's theorem in the convex analysis, we present the nonlocal version of the Jensen-Ishii lemma, which leads to the precise argument for the comparison principle.

In this paper, training a neural network is identified, exactly, as a search through Hamilton--Jacobi initial-value problems: each gradient step selects the initial data of a viscous Hamilton--Jacobi equation whose Hopf--Cole propagator…
We study the Hamilton-Jacobi equations $H(x,Du,u)=0$ in $M$ and $\partial u/\partial t +H(x,D_xu,u)=0$ in $M\times(0,\infty)$, where the Hamiltonian $H=H(x,p,u)$ depends Lipschitz continuously on the variable $u$. In the framework of the…
