Degenerate Eikonal equations with discontinuous refraction index

Pierpaolo Soravia (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for eikonal type equations of ray light propagation in an inhomogeneous medium with discontinuous refraction index. We prove a comparison principle that allows us to obtain existence and uniqueness of a continuous viscosity solution when the Lie algebra generated by the coefficients satisfies a Hörmander type condition. We require the refraction index to be piecewise continuous across Lipschitz hypersurfaces. The results characterize...

Comparison and existence results for evolutive non-coercive first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Alessandra Cutrì, Francesca Da Lio (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we prove a comparison result between semicontinuous viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the form u t + H ( x , D u ) = 0 in I R n × ( 0 , T ) where the Hamiltonian may be noncoercive in the gradient As a consequence of the comparison result and the Perron's method we get the existence of a continuous solution of this equation.
