Abstract
It was pointed out by P.-L. Lions, G. Papanicolaou, and S.R.S. Varadhan in their seminal paper (1987) that, for first order Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ) equations, homogenization starting with affine initial data implies homogenization for general uniformly continuous initial data. The argument makes use of some properties of the HJ semi-group, in particular, the finite speed of propagation. This property is lost for viscous HJ equations. In this paper we prove the above mentioned implication in both viscous and non-viscous cases. Our proof relies on a variant of Evans’s perturbed test function method. As an application, we show homogenization in the stationary ergodic setting for viscous and non-viscous HJ equations in one space dimension with non-convex Hamiltonians of specific form. The results are new in the viscous case.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
