Abstract:

Two different proofs for an inf-sup type representation formula (minimax formula) of the additive eigenvalues corresponding to first-order Hamilton–Jacobi equations are given for quasiconvex (level-set convex) Hamiltonians not necessarily convex. The first proof, which is similar to known proofs for convex Hamiltonians, invokes a Jensen-like inequality for quasiconvex functions instead of the standard Jensen’s inequality. The second proof is completely different with elementary calculations. It is based on the convergence of derivatives of mollified Lipschitz continuous functions whose proof is also given. These methods also relate to an approximation problem of viscosity solutions.
