Rate of convergence in periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations: the convex setting (Q2418421): Difference between revisions

The paper under review deals with the investigation of the rate of convergence in periodic homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The authors consider the solutions $u^\epsilon$ of the problem \[ \begin{cases} u^\epsilon_t +H(x/\epsilon,Du^\epsilon)=0 & \mathrm{in}\quad \mathbb{R}^n\times (0,+\infty),\\ u^\epsilon(x,0)=g(x) & \mathrm{on}\quad \mathbb{R}^n, \end{cases} \] where the Hamiltonian $H=H(y,p)$ is coercive and convex in the $p$ variable and $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic in the $y$ variable, and the initial data $g$ is bounded and Lipschitz continuous. The authors obtain estimates on the rate of convergence of $u^\epsilon$ as $\epsilon\to 0$ to the solution $u$ of the homogenized problem \[ \begin{cases} u +\overline{H}(Du)=0 & \mathrm{in}\quad \mathbb{R}^n\times (0,+\infty),\\ u(x,0)=g(x) & \mathrm{on}\quad \mathbb{R}^n, \end{cases} \] where $\overline{H}$ is the effective Hamiltonian.
