Interior sphere property for level sets of the value function of an exit time problem

Marco Castelpietra (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider an optimal control problem for a system of the form x ˙ = f(x,u), with a running cost L. We prove an interior sphere property for the level sets of the corresponding value function V. From such a property we obtain a semiconcavity result for V, as well as perimeter estimates for the attainable sets of a symmetric control system.

Invariance of global solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation

Ezequiel Maderna (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We show that every global viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation associated with a convex and superlinear Hamiltonian on the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold is necessarily invariant under the identity component of the group of symmetries of the Hamiltonian (we prove that this group is a compact Lie group). In particular, every Lagrangian section invariant under the Hamiltonian flow is also invariant under this group.
