On a Hilbert triple, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a monotone nonlinearity, a Lipschitz drift and a bounded cost that is uniformly continuous for the smaller norm has exactly one bounded continuous viscosity solution on the whole space. That solution is uniformly continuous for the larger norm, and is bounded by the bound on the cost divided by the discount rate.

Statement

In the setting of Hilbert Triples: Standing Notation and Background, the set HH is open in HH by Hilbert Triples: Standing Notation and Background §open-sets; accordingly W=D(A)H=D(A)W=D(A)\cap H=D(A) and VH=VV\cap H=V there. Let Sym(V)\mathrm{Sym}(V) and its zero form 0Sym0_{\mathrm{Sym}} be as fixed there, and let 0H0_{H} be the zero vector of HH.

Let λ0,CgR\lambda_{0},C_{g}\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 0<λ00<\lambda_{0} and 0Cg0\le C_{g}, let ωg\omega_{g} be a modulus of continuity, and let g:VRg:V\to\mathbb{R} satisfy

g(x)Cgfor every xV,g(x)g(y)ωg(xyV)for all x,yV.|g(x)|\le C_{g}\quad\text{for every }x\in V,\qquad |g(x)-g(y)|\le\omega_{g}\bigl(|x-y|_{V}\bigr)\quad\text{for all }x,y\in V .

Let B:VHB:V\to H be a monotone nonlinearity for (H,V,A)(H,V,A), let R\ell\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 00\le\ell, let L:HHL:H\to H be Lipschitz with constant \ell from (H,dH)(H,d_{H}) to itself, and let FF be the function on D(A)×R×H×Sym(V)D(A)\times\mathbb{R}\times H\times\mathrm{Sym}(V) whose value at (x,r,p,X)(x,r,p,X) is

F(x,r,p,X)=λ0r+12pH2+Ax+B(x)+L(x),pHg(x),F(x,r,p,X)=\lambda_{0}\,r+\tfrac{1}{2}|p|_{H}^{2}+\langle Ax+B(x)+L(x),p\rangle_{H}-g(x),

which is defined, and is a second-order equation operator on HH relative to (H,V,A)(H,V,A) that is degenerate elliptic, by A Hamilton-Jacobi Operator with a Monotone Nonlinearity and a Lipschitz Perturbation Satisfies the Comparison Hypotheses §operator. Let C=Cgλ0C=\tfrac{C_{g}}{\lambda_{0}}, the quotient of CgC_{g} by the nonzero λ0\lambda_{0}; it is nonnegative. Then the following hold.

1. (Existence) There is a function u:HRu:H\to\mathbb{R} that is a viscosity solution of FF on HH, satisfies u(x)C|u(x)|\le C for every xHx\in H, and is uniformly continuous on HH with respect to dHd_{H} and the metric of Real Hilbert Spaces: Standing Notation and Background §numbers.

2. (Uniqueness among bounded continuous solutions) Let CRC'\in\mathbb{R} and let u1,u2:HRu_{1},u_{2}:H\to\mathbb{R} be viscosity solutions of FF on HH that are continuous on HH and satisfy u1(x)C|u_{1}(x)|\le C' and u2(x)C|u_{2}(x)|\le C' for every xHx\in H. Then u1(x)=u2(x)u_{1}(x)=u_{2}(x) for every xHx\in H.

3. (Well-posedness) Let uu be as in claim 1. Then uu is continuous on HH; and if uu' is a viscosity solution of FF on HH that is continuous on HH and for which some CRC''\in\mathbb{R} satisfies u(x)C|u'(x)|\le C'' for every xHx\in H, then u(x)=u(x)u'(x)=u(x) for every xHx\in H.
