We give a new and rigorous duality relation between two central notions of weak solutions of nonlinear PDEs: entropy and viscosity solutions. It takes the form of the nonlinear dual inequality: \begin{equation}\int |S_t u_0-S_t v_0|…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be an almost symplectic manifold ($\omega$ is a non degenerate, not closed, 2-form). We say that a vector field $X$ of $M$ is locally Hamiltonian if $L_X\omega=0,d(i(X)\omega)=0$, and it is Hamiltonian if, furthermore, the…
