A simple proof of the propagation of singularities for solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Yifeng Yu (2006)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

In Albano-Cannarsa [1] the authors proved that, under some conditions, the singularities of the semiconcave viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation propagate along generalized characteristics. In this note we will provide a simple proof of this interesting result.

Viscosity solutions methods for converse KAM theory

Diogo A. Gomes, Adam Oberman (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

The main objective of this paper is to prove new necessary conditions to the existence of KAM tori. To do so, we develop a set of explicit estimates for smooth solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations, using a combination of methods from viscosity solutions, KAM and Aubry-Mather theories. These estimates are valid in any space dimension, and can be checked numerically to detect gaps between KAM tori and Aubry-Mather sets. We apply these results to detect non-integrable regions in ...

Homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in Carnot Groups

Bianca Stroffolini (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study an homogenization problem for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the geometry of Carnot Groups. The tiling and the corresponding notion of periodicity are compatible with the dilatations of the Group and use the Lie bracket generating property.

Singularities in contact geometry

Marc Chaperon (2003)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In the first half of the paper, we consider singularities of infinitesimal contact transformations and first order partial differential equations, the main results being related to the classical Sternberg-Chen theorem for hyperbolic germs of vector fields. The second half explains how to construct global generating phase functions for solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations and see what their singularities look like.

A Hamilton-Jacobi approach to junction problems and application to traffic flows

Cyril Imbert, Régis Monneau, Hasnaa Zidani (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the study of a model case of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on a “junction”, that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. The main result is a comparison principle. We also prove existence and stability of solutions. The two challenging difficulties are the singular geometry of the domain and the discontinuity of the Hamiltonian. As far as discontinuous Hamiltonians are concerned, these results seem to...

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.
