Names the metric eikonal equation |grad u| = f on an open subset of a metric space, as the slope-based equation of the Hamiltonian p - f(x).

Statement

In the setting of Slope-Based Viscosity Solutions on a Metric Space: Standing Notation, let Ω⊆X\Omega\subseteq X be open and let f:Ω→Rf:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}. The function Hf:Ω×R×T→RH_{f}:\Omega\times\mathbb{R}\times T\to\mathbb{R}, Hf(x,r,p)=p−f(x)H_{f}(x,r,p)=p-f(x), is a Hamiltonian on Ω\Omega, since p≤p′p\le p' gives p−f(x)≤p′−f(x)p-f(x)\le p'-f(x).

The eikonal equation with right-hand side ff in Ω\Omega is

∣∇u∣=fin Ω,|\nabla u|=f\qquad\text{in }\Omega ,

by which is meant the equation Hf=0H_{f}=0 in Ω\Omega; its s-subsolutions, s-supersolutions and s-solutions are those of Hf=0H_{f}=0 in Ω\Omega in the sense of Slope-Based Viscosity Solutions on a Metric Space: Standing Notation §solutions.
