Abstract: Recently, C. Imbert & R. Monneau study the homogenization of coercive Hamilton-Jacobi Equations with a u/e-dependence : this unusual dependence leads to a non-standard cell problem and, in order to solve it, they introduce new ideas to obtain the estimates on the oscillations of the solutions. In this article, we use their ideas to provide new homogenization results for ``standard Hamilton-Jacobi Equations (i.e. without a u/e-dependence) but in the case of {it non-coercive Hamiltonians}. As a by-product, we obtain a simpler and more natural proof of the results of C. Imbert & R. Monneau, but under slightly more restrictive assumptions on the Hamiltonians.


The author studies the limit behaviour as \(\varepsilon \to 0\) of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations \[ U_t^{\varepsilon} + F({\varepsilon}^{-1} x, {\varepsilon}^{-1} y, {\varepsilon}^{-1}t, D_x U^{\varepsilon}, D_yU^{\varepsilon}) = 0 \quad \text{in }{\mathbb R}^{n+1} \times (0,+\infty) \] where \(x \in {\mathbb R}^{n}\), \(y \in {\mathbb R}\), \(t \in (0,+\infty)\) and \(F(x,y,t,p_x,p_y)\) is a function continuous in \({\mathbb R}^{2n+3}\) and \({\mathbb Z}^n\)-periodic in \(x\) and \(1\)-periodic in \(y,t\). Usually \(F\) is supposed to be coercive with respect to the variables \((p_x,p_y)\) and this is useful in solving the cell problem which provides the limit problem. The author studies homogenization dropping coerciveness in \((p_x,p_y)\). He also obtains another proof for a recent result of \textit{C. Imbert} and \textit{R. Monneau} [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 187, No. 1, 49-89 (2008; Zbl 1127.70009)], the paper that inspired the author for the present work.
