A new approach to study hyperbolic-parabolic coupled systems
P. Albano and P. Cannarsa proved in 1999 that, under some applicable conditions, singularities of semiconcave functions in propagate along Lipschitz arcs. Further regularity properties of these arcs were proved by P. Cannarsa and Y. Yu in 2009. We prove that, for , these arcs are very regular: they can be found in the form (in a suitable Cartesian coordinate system) , , where , are convex and Lipschitz on . In other words: singularities propagate along arcs with finite turn.
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.
