Abstract: | A new notion of solution (called £-solution) is introduced so that the Cauchy problem for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation with semicontinuous initial data is globally solvable. No convexity assumptions on Hamiltonians are imposed. The solution is interpreted as the level set of an auxiliary problem. It turns out that our£solution is consistent with a classical discontinuous viscosity solution and a bitateral viscosity solution. Moreover, our L-solution is unique and enjoy the comparison principle. The condition that initial data is really attained is also discussed. |
