The large time behavior of solutions to Cauchy problem for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation is classified. The large time asymptotics are given by very singular self-similar solutions on one hand and by self-similar viscosity solutions on the other hand
The large time behavior of zero mass solutions to the Cauchy problem for a convection-diffusion equation. We provide conditions on the size and shape of the initial datum such that the large time asymptotics of solutions is given either by the derivative of the Guass-Weierstrass kernel or by a self-similar solution or by a hyperbolic N-wave
Let $(Omega, mu)$ be a probability space endowed with an ergodic action, $tau$ of $( {mathbb R} ^n, +)$. Let $H(x,p; omega)=H_omega(x,p)$ be a smooth Hamiltonian on $T^* {mathbb R} ^n$ parametrized by $omegain Omega$ and such that $ H(a+x,p;tau_aomega)=H(x,p;omega)$. We consider for an initial condition $fin C^0 ( {mathbb R}^n)$, the family of variational solutions of the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations $$left{ begin{aligned} frac{partial u^{ varepsilon }}{partial t}(t,x;omega)+Hleft (frac{x}{ varepsilon } , frac{partial u^varepsilon }{partial x}(t,x;omega);omega right )=0 & u^varepsilon (0,x;omega)=f(x)& end{aligned} right .$$ Under some coercivity assumptions on $p$ -- but without any convexity assumption -- we prove that for a.e. $omega in Omega$ we have $C^0-lim u^{varepsilon}(t,x;omega)=v(t,x)$ where $v$ is the variational solution of the homogenized equation $$left{ begin{aligned} frac{partial v}{partial t}(x)+{overline H}left (frac{partial v }{partial x}(x) right )=0 & v (0,x)=f(x)& end{aligned} right.$$
If $U:[0,+infty[times M$ is a uniformly continuous viscosity solution of the evolution Hamilton-Jacobi equation $$partial_tU+ H(x,partial_xU)=0,$$ where $M$ is a not necessarily compact manifold, and $H$ is a Tonelli Hamiltonian, we prove the set $Sigma(U)$, of points where $U$ is not differentiable, is locally contractible. Moreover, we study the homotopy type of $Sigma(U)$. We also give an application to the singularities of a distance function to a closed subset of a complete Riemannian manifold.
In this paper we obtain higher order asymptotic profilles of solutions to the Cauchy problem of the linear damped wave equation in $textbf{R}^n$ begin{equation*} u_{tt}-Delta u+u_t=0, qquad u(0,x)=u_0(x), quad u_t(0,x)=u_1(x), end{equation*} where $nintextbf{N}$ and $u_0$, $u_1in L^2(textbf{R}^n)$. Established hyperbolic part of asymptotic expansion seems to be new in the sense that the order of the expansion of the hyperbolic part depends on the spatial dimension.
The well known phenomenon of exponential contraction for solutions to the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the space-periodic setting is based on the Markov mechanism. However, the corresponding Lyapunov exponent $lambda( u)$ characterizing the exponential rate of contraction depends on the viscosity $ u$. The Markov mechanism provides only a lower bound for $lambda( u)$ which vanishes in the limit $ u to 0$. At the same time, in the inviscid case $ u=0$ one also has exponential contraction based on a completely different dynamical mechanism. This mechanism is based on hyperbolicity of action-minimizing orbits for the related Lagrangian variational problem. In this paper we consider the discrete time case (kicked forcing), and establish a uniform lower bound for $lambda( u)$ which is valid for all $ ugeq 0$. The proof is based on a nontrivial interplay between the dynamical and Markov mechanisms for exponential contraction. We combine PDE methods with the ideas from the Weak KAM theory.
