Hopf-Lax-Oleinik type formula for multi-time Hamilton-Jacobi equations (Q812549)

The Cauchy problem for multi-time Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the form \[ \left.\begin{aligned} & {\partial u\over\partial t}+ H_1(t, s,x,u, Du)= 0\\& {\partial u\over\partial s}+ H_2(t, s,x,u, Du)= 0\end{aligned}\right\}\quad \text{in }(0, T]\times \mathbb{R}^n, \] \[ u(0,0,x)= u_0(x)\quad\text{on }\{t= 0,\,s= 0,\, x\in\mathbb{R}^n\} \] is considered. Here, the Hamiltonians \(H_i= H_i(t, s,x,\gamma,p)\), \(i= 1,2\) and initial data \(u_0= u_0(x)\) are given functions, \(u= u(t,s,x)\) is unknown, \(Du=(\partial u/\partial x_1,\dots,\partial u/\partial x_n)\). The author studies the Cauchy problem for multi-time Hamilton-Jacobi equations whose Hamiltonians depend on the unknown function and its special gradient, in the case where \(H_i(\gamma,p)\), \(i= 1,2\) are positively homogeneous of degree \(m> 1\) in \(p\) for all \(\gamma\). A formula of Hopf-Lax-Oleinik type for multi-time viscosity solution of this problem is given.
