Nonexistence of vanishing-viscosity limits for mechanical Hamiltonian ergodic problems
Abstract
For $\varepsilon>0$, let $\phi^\varepsilon$ be the solution of the ergodic problem \[ \frac12 |D\phi^\varepsilon|^2+F(x)-\varepsilon\Delta\phi^\varepsilon=c(\varepsilon) \qquad \text{on } \mathbb{T}^n, \] normalized by $\phi^\varepsilon(0)=0$. We construct a one-dimensional example with $F\in C^3$ for which the vanishing-viscosity limit $\lim_{\varepsilon\to0}\phi^\varepsilon$ does not exist. This gives a negative answer to a problem proposed by Jauslin, Kreiss, and Moser [10].
