Abstract: For a bounded domain $Usubsetn$, consider the $L^{f}z$-functional involving a nonnegative Hamilton function $H:overlineUimesno[0,fz)$. In this paper, we will establish the uniqueness of absolute minimizers $uin{W}_l^{1,fz}oc(U)capC(overlineU)$ for $H$, under the Dirichlet boundary value $ginC(partialU)$, provided

oindent (A1) $H$ is lower semicontinuous in $overlineUimesn$, and $H(x,cdot)$ is convex for any $xinoverlineU$. oindent (A2) $displaystyleH(x,0)=mi{n}_{pinn}H(x,p)=0$ for any $xinoverlineU$, and $$ is contained in a hyperplane of $n$.

oindent (A3) For any $lz>0$, there exist $displaystyle0<r_{l}zle{R}_{l}z<fz$, with $displaystyleli{m}_{lzofz}{r}_{l}z=fz$,such that ${\displaystyle }$B(0,r_lz)subset Big{pin n | H(x,p)< lzBig}subset B(0,R_lz) forall lz> 0 mbox{and} xin overline U.${\displaystyle }$ This generalizes the uniqueness theorem by cite{j93, jwy, acjs} and cite{ksz} to a large class of Hamiltonian functions $H(x,p)$ with $x$-dependence. As a corollary, we confirm an open question on the uniqueness of absolute minimizers posed by {cite{jwy}}. The proofs rely on geometric structure of the action function $mathcal{L}_t(x,y)$ induced by $H$, and the identification of the absolute subminimality of $u$ with convexity of the Hamilton-Jacobi flow $tmapsto{T}^{t}u(x)$
