For a Hamilton-Jacobi equation defined on a network, we introduce its vanishing viscosity approximation. The elliptic equation is given on the edges and coupled with Kirchhoff-type conditions at the transition vertices. We prove that there exists exactly one solution of this elliptic approximation and mainly that, as the viscosity vanishes, it converges to the unique solution of the original problem.
We generalize the results in [16] to higher dimensional ramified spaces. For this purpose we introduce ramified manifolds and, as special cases, locally elementary polygonal ramified spaces (LEP spaces). On LEP spaces we develop a theory of viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations, providing existence and uniqueness results.
In this paper we study an approximation scheme for an Hamilton-Jacobi equation of Eikonal type defined on a network. We introduce an appropriate notion of viscosity solution for this class of equations (see \cite{sc}) and we prove that an approximation scheme of semi-Lagrangian type converges to the unique solution of the problem.
