Systems of Weakly Coupled Hamilton-Jacobi Equations with Implicit Obstacles

Diogo A. Gomes, António M. Cruz Serra · Canadian Journal of Mathematics · 2011

Abstract In this paper we study systems of weakly coupled Hamilton-Jacobi equations with implicit obstacles that arise in optimal switching problems. Inspired by methods from the theory of viscosity solutions and weak KAM theory, we extend the notion of Aubry set for these systems. This enables us to prove a new result on existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Dirichlet problem, answering a question of F. Camilli, P. Loreti, and N. Yamada.
