Let \\(H(x,t,p)\\) be a function of which it is assumed that it is at least continuous on \\({\\bar \\Omega}\\times {\\mathbb{R}}\\times {\\mathbb{R}}^ N\\), where \\(\\Omega\\) is a bounded open set in \\({\\mathbb{R}}^ N\\). This gives rise to the Dirichlet problem \\((*)\\quad H(x,u,Du)=0,\\) \\(u=\\phi\\) on \\(\\partial \\Omega\\), where u denotes a real-valued function from \\({\\bar \\Omega}\\) into \\({\\mathbb{R}}\\) with gradient Du, and \\(\\phi\\) is a given boundary condition. It is shown that, under appropriate conditions on H, if there exist Lipschitz, viscosity sub- and supersolutions of (*), then there exists a unique Lipschitz, viscosity solution of (*). [The terminology used in this statement is clearly explained in the text.]    The Cauchy problem is considered for some special Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the type \\(\\partial u/\\partial t+\\sum_{i,j}a_{ij}(x)(\\partial u/\\partial x_ i)(\\partial u/\\partial x_ j)=0\\) in \\({\\mathbb{R}}^ n\\times (0,+\\infty)\\) with \\(u(x,0)=u_ 0(x),\\) for all \\(x\\in {\\mathbb{R}}^ n\\), subject to the conditions \\(a_{ij}\\in W^{2,\\infty}({\\mathbb{R}}^ N)\\), \\(a_{ij}=a_{ji}\\), \\((a_{ij}(x))\\geq 0\\), for all \\(x\\in {\\mathbb{R}}^ N\\), and \\(u_ 0\\in W^{1,\\infty}({\\mathbb{R}}^ N)\\). The results thus obtained have important implications with regard to optimal control theory and geometrical optics, and their relationship to previously established existence theorems is elucidated."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-05T19:30:12Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
