Envelopes and nonconvex Hamilton-Jacobi equations. (English) Zbl 1302.49038

The author derives a new representation formula for viscosity solutions of nonconvex Hamilton-Jacobi PDEs given by \[ \begin{cases} u_{t}(x,t)+H(Du(x,t)) =0, &(x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^{n}\times (0,+\infty)\\ u(x,0) =g(x), &x\in \mathbb{R}^{n}, \end{cases} \] where \( H:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is a smooth nonconvex Hamiltonian and \( g:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is a smooth nonconvex initial data. As an application, the author studies “envelope and singular characteristic constructions of equivocal surfaces and [...] differential game theoretic interpretations.”
