Abstract: |
An approach is introduced to construct global discontinuous solutions
in $L^{\infty}$ for Hamilton-Jacobi equations. This approach allows the
initial data only in $L^{\infty}$ and applies to the equations with
nonconvex Hamiltonians. The profit functions are introduced to formulate
the notion of discontinuous solutions in $L^\infty$.
The existence of global discontinuous solutions in $L^{\infty}$ is
established.
These solutions in $L^{\infty}$ coincide with the viscosity solutions
and the minimax solutions, provided that the initial data are continuous.
A prototypical equation is analyzed to examine the $L^{\infty}$ stability
of our $L^{\infty}$ solutions. The analysis also shows that global
discontinuous solutions are determined by the topology in which the
initial data are approximated. |
