On the Generalized Dirichlet Problem
for Viscous Hamilton-Jacobi Equations
Guy Barles & Francesca Da Lio
We study the Dirichlet problem for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi
Equations. Despite this type of equations seems to be uniformly
elliptic, loss of boundary conditions may occur because of the
strong nonlinearity of the first-order part and therefore the
Dirichlet boundary condition has to be understood in the sense of
viscosity solutions theory. Under natural assumptions on the
initial and boundary data, we prove a Strong Comparison Result
which allows us to obtain the existence and the uniqueness of a
continuous solution which is defined globally in time.
