Existence, Uniqueness and Asymptotic Behavior for Nonlocal Parabolic Problems with Dominating Gradient Terms

Abstract

In this paper we deal with the well-posedness of Dirichlet problems associated to nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi parabolic equations in a bounded, smooth domain $\Omega$, in the case when the classical boundary condition may be lost. We address the problem for both coercive and noncoercive Hamiltonians: for coercive Hamiltonians, our results rely more on the regularity properties of the solutions, while noncoercive case are related to optimal control problems and the arguments are based on a careful study of the dynamics near the boundary of the domain. Comparison principles for bounded sub and supersolutions are obtained in the context of viscosity solutions with generalized boundary conditions, and consequently we obtain the existence and uniqueness of solutions in $C(\bar{\Omega} \times [0,+\infty))$ by the application of Perron's method. Finally, we prove that the solution of these problems converges to the solutions of the associated stationary problem as $t \to +\infty$ under suitable assumptions on the data.
