On Viscosity Solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi Equations in the Wasserstein space and the Vanishing Viscosity Limit

The aim of this article is twofold. First, we develop a unified framework for viscosity solutions to both first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations and semilinear Hamilton-Jacobi equations driven by the idiosyncratic operator, defined on the Wasserstein Space. Second, we establish a vanishing-viscosity limit-extending beyond the classical control-theoretic setting-for solutions of semilinear Hamilton-Jacobi equations, proving their convergence to the corresponding first-order solution as the idiosyncratic noise vanishes. Our approach provides an optimal convergence rate. We also present some results of independent interest. These include existence theorems for the first-order equation, obtained through an appropriate Hopf-Lax representation, and a useful description of the action of the idiosyncratic operator on geodesically convex functions.

On the doubling of variables technique in first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations

In this paper, we revisit the technique of doubling variables in first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations, especially when the equations arise in optimal control. We show that by tuning the penalization between the two points, we can change drastically the proof, somehow shifting the regularity hypotheses into geometrical properties of the penalization. We present this idea in a finite dimensional setting and then exploit it on equations posed on Wasserstein spaces.
