Large-time behavior for viscous and nonviscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations forced by additive noise

We study the large-time behavior of the solutions to viscous and nonviscous Hamilton--Jacobi equations with additive noise and periodic spatial dependence. Under general structural conditions on the Hamiltonian, we show the existence of unique up to constants, global-in-time solutions, which attract any other solution

Some new results on Lipschitz regularization for parabolic equations

It is well known that the bounded solution u(t, x) of the heat equation posed in RN×(0,T) for any continuous initial condition becomes Lipschitz continuous as soon as t>0, even if the initial datum is not Lipschitz continuous. We investigate this Lipschitz regularization for both strictly and degenerate parabolic equations of Hamilton–Jacobi type. We give proofs avoiding Bernstein’s method which leads to new, less restrictive conditions on the Hamiltonian, i.e., the first-order term. We discuss also whether the Lipschitz constant depends on the oscillation for the initial datum or not. Finally, some important applications of this Lipschitz regularization are presented

Large Time Behavior of Periodic Viscosity Solutions for Uniformly Parabolic Integro-Differential Equations

International audienceIn this paper, we study the large time behavior of solutions of a class of parabolic fully nonlinear integro-differential equations in a periodic setting. In order to do so, we first solve the ergodic problem}(or cell problem), i.e. we construct solutions of the form $\lambda t + v(x)$. We then prove that solutions of the Cauchy problem look like those specific solutions as time goes to infinity. We face two key difficulties to carry out this classical program: (i) the fact that we handle the case of ''mixed operators'' for which the required ellipticity comes from a combination of the properties of the local and nonlocal terms and (ii) the treatment of the superlinear case (in the gradient variable). Lipschitz estimates previously proved by the authors (2012) and Strong Maximum principles proved by the third author (2012) play a crucial role in the analysis

Jointly invariant measures for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang Equation

We give an explicit description of the jointly invariant measures for the KPZ equation. These are couplings of Brownian motions with drift, and can be extended to a process defined for all drift parameters simultaneously. We term this process the KPZ horizon (KPZH). As a corollary of this description, we resolve a recent conjecture of Janjigian, and the second and third authors by showing the existence of a random, countably infinite dense set of directions at which the Busemann process of the KPZ equation is discontinuous. This signals instability and shows the failure of the one force--one solution principle and the existence of at least two extremal semi-infinite polymer measures in the exceptional directions. As the inverse temperature parameter $\beta$ for the KPZ equation goes to $\infty$, the KPZH converges to the stationary horizon (SH) first introduced by Busani, and studied further by Busani and the third and fourth authors. As $\beta \searrow 0$, the KPZH converges to a coupling of Brownian motions that differ by linear shifts, which is a jointly invariant measure for the Edwards-Wilkinson fixed point.Comment: v2: minor changes, 42 pages, 3 figure
