On viscosity solutions of certain Hamilton-Jacobi equations: Regularity results and generalized Sard's Theorems
نویسنده
چکیده
Under usual assumptions on the Hamiltonian, we prove that any viscosity solution of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation on the manifold M is locally semiconcave and C loc outside the closure of its singular set (which is nowhere dense in M). Moreover, we prove that, under additional assumptions and in low dimension, any viscosity solution of that Hamilton-Jacobi equation satisfies a generalized Sard theorem. In consequence, almost every level set of such a function is a locally Lipschitz hypersurface in M .

Topics on optimal control and PDEs
The course deals with the analysis of optimal control problems and of the related first order PDEs of dynamic programming. In particular, we shall focus our attention on time optimal control problems for linear and nonlinear systems. We shall present some recent results concerning the regularity and the compactness of viscosity solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellmann Equations...
متن کاملViscosity Solutions of Hamilton–jacobi Equations with Discontinuous Coefficients
Abstract. We consider Hamilton–Jacobi equations, where the Hamiltonian depends discontinuously on both the spatial and temporal location. Our main results is the existence of viscosity solution to the Cauchy problem, and that the front tracking algorithm yields an L∞ contractive semigroup. We define a viscosity solution by treating the discontinuities in the coefficients analogously to “interna...
متن کاملViscosity Solutions of Hamilton-jacobi Equations, and Asymptotics for Hamiltonian Systems
In this paper we apply the theory of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations to understand the structure of certain Hamiltonian flows. In particular, we describe the asymptotic behavior of minimizing orbits of Hamiltonian flows by proving a weak KAM theorem which holds under very general conditions. Then, using Mather measures, we prove results on the uniform continuity, difference quo...

We study the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for undiscounted exit time control problems with general nonnegative Lagrangians using the dynamic programming approach. We prove theorems characterizing the value function as the unique bounded-from-below viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation which is null on the target. The result applies to problems with the property that all trajectories sa...
متن کاملNonlocal First-order Hamilton-jacobi Equations Modelling Dislocations Dynamics
We study nonlocal first-order equations arising in the theory of dislocations. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of these equations in the case of positive and negative velocities, under suitable regularity assumptions on the initial data and the velocity. These results are based on new L1-type estimates on the viscosity solutions of first-order HamiltonJacobi Equations app...
