Compactness estimates for Hamilton-Jacobi equations depending on space

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study quantitative estimates of compactness in mathbfWloc1,1 for the map St, t>0 that associates to every given initial data u0inmathrmLip(mathbbRN) the corresponding solution Stu0 of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation u_t+H�ig(x, abla_{!x} u�ig)=0,, qquad tgeq 0,quad xin mathbb{R}^N, with a convex and coercive Hamiltonian H=H(x,p). We provide upper and lower bounds of order 1/varepsilonN on the the Kolmogorov varepsilon-entropy in mathbfW1,1 of the image through the map St of sets of bounded, compactly supported initial data. Quantitative estimates of compactness, as suggested by P.D. Lax, could provide a measure of the order of "resolution" and of "complexity" of a numerical method implemented for this equation. We establish these estimates deriving accurate a-priori bounds on the Lipschitz, semiconcavity and semiconvexity constant of a viscosity solution when the initial data is semiconvex. The derivation of a small time controllability result is also fundamental to establish the lower bounds on the varepsilon-entropy.
