Abstract: Subdiffusive motion takes place at a much slower timescale than diffusive motion. As a preliminary step to studying reaction-subdiffusion pulled fronts, we consider here the hyperbolic limit $(t,x)o(t/varepsilon,x/varepsilon)$ of an age-structured equation describing the subdiffusive motion of, e.g., some protein inside a biological cell. Solutions of the rescaled equations are known to satisfy a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the formal limit $varepsilono0$. In this work we derive uniform Lipschitz estimates, and establish the convergence towards the viscosity solution of the limiting Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The two main obstacles overcome in this work are the non-existence of an integrable stationary measure, and the importance of memory terms in subdiffusion.
