This article is the third one in a series of papers by the authors on vanishing-viscosity solutions to rate-independent damage systems. While in the first two papers [KRZ13, KRZ15] the assumptions on the spatial domain $\Omega$ were kept as…

This paper develops a comparison theorem for viscosity solutions of a new class of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations, which is used to solve the separated problem governed by the K-S equation in the Wasserstein space. A distinctive…

We show the existence of Lipschitz-in-space optimal controls for a class of mean-field control problems with dynamics given by a non-local continuity equation. The proof relies on a vanishing viscosity method: we prove the convergence of…

We prove the optimal $W^{2,\infty}$ regularity for variational problems with convex gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity of the constraints; so the constraints can be nonsmooth, and they need not be strictly convex. When…

We give a meaning to the Hamilton--Jacobi equation arising from mean-field spin glass models in the viscosity sense, and establish the corresponding well-posedness. Originally defined on the set of monotone probability measures, these…

In this paper, we apply the framework of optimal transport to the formulation of optimal design problems. By considering the Wasserstein space as a set of design variables, we associate each probability measure with a shape configuration of…

In our previous paper [Ekren, Touzi and Zhang (2015)], we introduced a notion of viscosity solutions for fully nonlinear path-dependent PDEs, extending the semilinear case of Ekren et al. [Ann. Probab. 42 (2014) 204-236], which satisfies a…

In this paper we investigate the approximation of continuous functions on the Wasserstein space by smooth functions, with smoothness meant in the sense of Lions differentiability. In particular, in the case of a Lipschitz function we are…

We consider the simplest example of a time-dependent first order Hamilton-Jacobi equation, in one space dimension and with a bounded and Lipschitz continuous Hamiltonian which only depends on the spatial derivative. We show that if the…

A new concept of viscosity solutions, namely, the Hausdorff continuous viscosity solution for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is defined and investigated. It is shown that the main ideas within the classical theory of continuous viscosity…

In this work we introduce the obstacle-mass constraint problem for a multidimensional scalar hyperbolic conservation law. We prove existence of an entropy solution to this problem by a penalization/viscosity method. The mass constraint…

Wasserstein barycenters provide a geometrically meaningful way to aggregate probability distributions, built on the theory of optimal transport. They are difficult to compute in practice, however, leading previous work to restrict their…

We introduce a new notion of viscosity solutions for the level set formulation of the motion by crystalline mean curvature in three dimensions. The solutions satisfy the comparison principle, stability with respect to an approximation by…

Optimal transport is a foundational problem in optimization, that allows to compare probability distributions while taking into account geometric aspects. Its optimal objective value, the Wasserstein distance, provides an important loss…

This paper studies the regularity of the free boundary for viscosity solutions to a parabolic Bernoulli-type free boundary problem with variable coefficients. The main result is that Lipschitz free boundaries are $C^1$ with a normal vector…

We introduce a notion of approximate viscosity solution for a class of nonlinear path-dependent PDEs (PPDEs), including the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman type equations. Existence, comparaison and stability results are established under fairly…

In this work we prove an analogue, for partial differential equations on the space of probability measures, of the classical vanishing viscosity result known for equations on the Euclidean space. Our result allows in particular to show that…

In this paper, we propose a Cauchy type problem to the timelike Lorentzian eikonal equation on a globally hyperbolic space-time. For this equation, as the value of the solution on a Cauchy surface is known, we prove the existence of…

We show that two different notions of solutions to the obstacle problem for the porous medium equation, a potential theoretic notion and a notion based on a variational inequality, coincide for regular enough compactly supported obstacles.

This work investigates the optimal control problem for reflected McKean-Vlasov SDEs and the viscosity solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman(HJB) equations on the Wasserstein space in terms of intrinsic derivative. It follows from the flow…
