Asymptotic analysis for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with large drift term

Abstract

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with large drift term in an open subset of two-dimensional Euclidean space. When the drift is given by $\varepsilon^{-1} (H_{x_2}, -H_{x_1})$ of a Hamiltonian $H$, with $\varepsilon > 0$, we establish the convergence, as $\varepsilon \to 0+$, of solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations and identify the limit of the solutions as the solution of systems of ordinary differential equations on a graph. This result generalizes the previous one obtained by the author to the case where the Hamiltonian $H$ admits a degenerate critical point and, as a consequence, the graph may have segments more than four at a node.
