Viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Publisher Summary This chapter examines viscosity solutions of Hamilton–Jacobi equations. The ability to formulate an existence and uniqueness result for generality requires the ability to discuss non differential solutions of the equation, and this has not been possible before. However, the existence assertions can be proved by expanding on the arguments in the introduction concerning the relationship of the vanishing viscosity method and the notion of viscosity solutions, so users can adapt known methods here. The uniqueness is then the main new point.
