چکیده
Abstract. We introduce a concept of viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations (HJE) in the Wasserstein space. We prove existence of solutions for the Cauchy problem for certain Hamiltonians defined on the Wasserstein space over the real line. In order to illustrate the link between HJE in the Wasserstein space and Fluid Mechanics, in the last part of the paper we focus on a special Hamiltonian. The characteristics for these HJE are solutions of physical systems in finite dimensional spaces.

On a Class of First Order Hamilton-jacobi Equations in Metric Spaces
We establish well-posedness of a class of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equation in geodesic metric spaces. The result is then applied to solve a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the Wasserstein space of probability measures, which arises from the variational formulation of a compressible Euler equation.
متن کاملEntropic Burgers equation via a minimizing movement scheme based on the Wasserstein metric
As noted by the second author in the context of unstable two-phase porous medium flow, entropy solutions of Burgers’ equation can be recovered from a minimizing movement scheme involving the Wasserstein metric in the limit of vanishing time step size [4]. In this paper, we give a simpler proof by verifying that the anti-derivative is a viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton Jacobi equati...
متن کاملInfinite horizon value functions in the Wasserstein spaces
We perform a systematic study of optimization problems in the Wasserstein spaces that are analogs of infinite horizon, deterministic control problems. We derive necessary conditions on action minimizing paths and present a sufficient condition for their existence. We also verify that the corresponding generalized value functions are a type of viscosity solution of a time independent, Hamilton–J...
متن کاملA Stochastic Galerkin Method for Hamilton-Jacobi Equations with Uncertainty
We develop a class of stochastic numerical schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with random inputs in initial data and/or the Hamiltonians. Since the gradient of the HamiltonJacobi equations gives a symmetric hyperbolic system, we utilize the generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) expansion with stochastic Galerkin procedure in random space and the JinXin relaxation approximation in physical space...
متن کاملHamilton-Jacobi Equation for Optimal Control of Nonlinear Stochastic Distributed Parameter Systems Applied to Air Pollution Process
This paper derives Hamilton-Jacobi equation (HJE) in Hilbert space for optimal control of stochastic distributed parameter systems (SDPSs) governed by partial differential equations (SPDEs) subject to both state-dependent and additive stochastic disturbances. First, nonlinear SDPSs are transformed to stochastic evolution systems (SESs), which are governed by stochastic ordinary differential equ...
