A notion of extremal solutions for time periodic Hamilton-Jacobi equations (Q974358)

The authors are interested in time periodic solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the form \[ \partial_t u+H(x,t,u,Du)=0, \quad (x,t)\in\mathbb R^N\times\mathbb R, \] where the Hamiltonian \(H\) is assumed to be a continuous function, \(T\) periodic in \(t\) and \(Du\) denotes the gradient of \(u\). They look for solutions in the class of viscosity solutions of Crandall and Lions which happens to be the natural class of solutions here notably for uniqueness results. When the uniqueness of the periodic solution is not guaranteed, the authors define a notion of extremal solution and propose two different ways to attain it, together with the corresponding numerical simulations.
