Optimal semiconcavity with fractional modulus for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with Neumann boundary conditions

We study the semiconcavity property of viscosity solutions to Hamilton--Jacobi equations with Neumann boundary conditions. Unlike the state-constraint case, minimizing trajectories associated with the Neumann problem may fail to be $C^1$, so the classical approach based on the regularity of minimizers is no longer available. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce a comparison argument between the constrained action associated with the Skorokhod problem and the unconstrained action, avoiding any use of higher regularity of reflected minimizing trajectories. Under a structural decomposition assumption on the Hamiltonian at the boundary, we establish the estimate \[u(x+h,t+\sigma)+u(x-h,t-\sigma)-2u(x,t)\leq C(|h|+\sigma)^{\frac{3}{2}}.\] An explicit example shows that the power $3/2$ in this estimate cannot be improved.

Quantitative homogenization of convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations with $u/\varepsilon$-periodic Hamiltonians

Here, we study quantitative homogenization of first-order convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations with $(u/\varepsilon)$-periodic Hamiltonians which typically appear in dislocation dynamics. Firstly, we establish the optimal convergence rate by using the inherent fundamental solution and the implicit variational principle of Hamilton dynamics with their Hamiltonian depending on the unknown. Secondly, under additional growth assumptions on the Hamiltonian, we establish global H\"older regularity for both the solutions and the correctors, serving as a notable application of our quantitative homogenization theory.

Quantitative homogenization of convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations with Neumann type boundary conditions

We study the periodic homogenization for convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations on perforated domains under the Neumann type boundary conditions. We consider two types of conditions, the oblique derivative boundary condition and the prescribed contact angle boundary condition, which is important in the front propagation. We first establish a new representation formula for the solution by using the Skorokhod problem and modified Lagrangians. By using this formula essentially, we prove the sub and superadditivity properties of the extended metric functions, which will be applied to obtain the optimal convergence rate $O(\varepsilon)$ for homogenization of Neumann type problems.

On equivalence of entropy and viscosity solutions to degenerate parabolic equations and applications

Here, we consider anisotropic degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations and degenerate quasilinear Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We prove the equivalence of two notions of entropy and viscosity solutions of two equations, and apply it to obtain a large-time behavior of viscosity solutions to quasilinear Hamilton-Jacobi equations, and entropy solutions to degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations in a periodic setting.

Quantitative homogenization of state-constraint Hamilton--Jacobi equations on perforated domains and applications

We study the periodic homogenization problem of state-constraint Hamilton--Jacobi equations on perforated domains in the convex setting and obtain the optimal convergence rate. We then consider a dilute situation in which the holes' diameter is much smaller than the microscopic scale. Finally, a homogenization problem with domain defects where some holes are missing is analyzed.

Quenching for axisymmetric hypersurfaces under forced mean curvature flows

Here, we study the motion of axisymmetric hypersurfaces $\{\Gamma_t\}_{t\ge0}$ evolved by forced mean curvature flows in the periodic setting. We establish conditions that quenching occurs or does not occur in terms of the initial data and forcing term. We also study the locations where the quenching happens in some special cases.

Asymptotic growth rate of solutions to level-set forced mean curvature flows with evolving spirals

Here, we study a level-set forced mean curvature flow with evolving spirals and the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition, which appears in a crystal growth model. Under some appropriate conditions on the forcing term, we prove that the solution is globally Lipschitz. We then study the large time average of the solution and deduce the asymptotic growth rate of the crystal. Some large time behavior results of the solution are obtained.

A representation formula for viscosity solutions of nonlocal Hamilton--Jacobi equations and applications

This paper is concerned with geometric motion of a closed surface whose velocity depends on a nonlocal quantity of the enclosed region. Using the level set formulation, we study a class of nonlocal Hamilton--Jacobi equations and establish a control-based representation formula for solutions. We also apply the formula to discuss the fattening phenomenon and large-time asymptotics of the solutions.

A level-set method for a mean curvature flow with a prescribed boundary

We propose a level-set method for a mean curvature flow whose boundary is prescribed by interpreting the boundary as an obstacle. Since the corresponding obstacle problem is globally solvable, our method gives a global-in-time level-set mean curvature flow under a prescribed boundary with no restriction of the profile of an initial hypersurface. We show that our solution agrees with a classical mean curvature flow under the Dirichlet condition. We moreover prove that our solution agrees with a level-set flow under the Dirichlet condition constructed by P. Sternberg and W. P. Ziemer (1994), where the initial hypersurface is contained in a strictly mean-convex domain and the prescribed boundary is on the boundary of the domain.

Bifurcation of homogenization and nonhomogenization of the curvature G-equation with shear flows

The level-set curvature G-equation, a well-known model in turbulent combustion, has the following form $G_t + \left(1-d\, \mathrm{dvi}\left({\frac{DG}{|DG|}}\right)\right)_+|DG|+V(X)\cdot DG=0.$ Here the cutoff correction $()_+$ is imposed to avoid non-physical negative local burning velocity. The existence of the effective burning velocity has been established for a large class of physically relevant incompressible flows $V$ in two dimensions [13] via game theory dynamics. In this paper, we show that the effective burning velocity associated with shear flows in dimensions three or higher ceases to exist when the flow intensity surpasses a bifurcation point. The characterization of the bifurcation point in three dimensions is closely related to the regularity theory of two-dimensional minimal surface type equations due to [29]. As a consequence, a bifurcation also exists for the validity of full homogenization of the curvature G-equation associated with shear flows.

On the rate of convergence in homogenization of time-fractional Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Here, we consider periodic homogenization for time-fractional Hamilton--Jacobi equations. By using the perturbed test function method, we establish the convergence, and give estimates on a rate of convergence. A main difficulty is the incompatibility between the function used in the doubling variable method, and the non-locality of the Caputo derivative. Our approach is to provide a lemma to prove the rate of convergence without the doubling variable method with respect to the time variable, which is a key ingredient.

Quasiconvexity preserving property for fully nonlinear nonlocal parabolic equations

This paper is concerned with a general class of fully nonlinear parabolic equations with monotone nonlocal terms. We investigate the quasiconvexity preserving property of positive, spatially coercive viscosity solutions. We prove that if the initial value is quasiconvex, the viscosity solution to the Cauchy problem stays quasiconvex in space for all time. Our proof can be regarded as a limit version of that for power convexity preservation as the exponent tends to infinity. We also present several concrete examples to show applications of our result.

On weak solutions to first-order discount mean field games

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to first-order discount mean field games and a stability result to give the existence for the ergodic problem. We show an example to illustrate the multiplicity of weak solutions to the ergodic problem. With this motivation, we address a selection condition, which is a necessary condition that any limit of solutions under subsequence satisfies. As an application, we show a nontrivial example to get the convergence of weak solutions.

Level-set forced mean curvature flow with the Neumann boundary condition

Here, we study a level-set forced mean curvature flow with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We first show that the solution is Lipschitz in time and locally Lipschitz in space. Then, under an additional condition on the forcing term, we prove that the solution is globally Lipschitz. We obtain the large time behavior of the solution in this setting and study the large time profile in some specific situations. Finally, we give two examples demonstrating that the additional condition on the forcing term is sharp, and without it, the solution might not be globally Lipschitz.

Large time behavior for a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in a critical Coagulation-Fragmentation model

We study the large time behavior of the sublinear viscosity solution to a singular Hamilton-Jacobi equation that appears in a critical Coagulation-Fragmentation model with multiplicative coagulation and constant fragmentation kernels. Our results include complete characterizations of stationary solutions and optimal conditions to guarantee large time convergence. In particular, we obtain convergence results under certain natural conditions on the initial data, and a nonconvergence result when such conditions fail.

The large time profile for Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations

Here, we study the large-time limit of viscosity solutions of the Cauchy problem for second-order Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations with convex Hamiltonians in the torus. This large-time limit solves the corresponding stationary problem, sometimes called the ergodic problem. This problem, however, has multiple viscosity solutions and, thus, a key question is which of these solutions is selected by the limit. Here, we provide a representation for the viscosity solution to the Cauchy problem in terms of generalized holonomic measures. Then, we use this representation to characterize the large-time limit in terms of the initial data and generalized Mather measures. In addition, we establish various results on generalized Mather measures and duality theorems that are of independent interest.
