Viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with unbounded nonlinear terms (Q1191748)

This paper deals with Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the form \[ (SP) \quad u+\langle Ax,Du\rangle+F(x,u,Du)=0, \qquad (CP) \quad u_ t+\langle Ax,Du\rangle+F(t,x,u,Du)=0, \] where \(A\) is an \(m\)-accretive operator on a Banach space \(X\), \(A: D(A)\to 2^ X\) and \(F:\overline{D(A)}\times R\times X^ x\to R\) (respectively \(F:\{0,T\}\times\overline{D(A)}\times R\times X^ x\to R\)) are continuous mappings. The author presents a new definition of viscosity solution for the Hamilton-Jacobi equations \((SP)\) and \((CP)\) and proves existence and uniqueness results under usual assumptions on the bounded part of the Hamiltonian.
