Abstract

We extend the Barles-Perthame procedure [4] (see also [22]) of semi-relaxed limits of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the type f−λHf=h to the context of non-compact spaces. The convergence result allows for equations on a ‘converging sequence of spaces’ as well as Hamilton-equations written in terms of two equations in terms of operators H and H that serve as natural upper and lower bounds for the ‘true’ operator H. In the process, we establish a strong relation between non-linear pseudo-resolvents and viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. As a consequence we derive a convergence result for non-linear semigroups.
