Names the discounted stationary equation rho u + (1/2)|grad u|^2 = f on an open subset of a metric space, as the slope-based equation of the Hamiltonian rho r + p2/2p^2/2 - 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, let ρ\rho be a positive real, and let f:Ω→Rf:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}. The function Hρ,f:Ω×R×T→RH_{\rho,f}:\Omega\times\mathbb{R}\times T\to\mathbb{R},

Hρ,f(x,r,p)=ρ r+12p2−f(x),H_{\rho,f}(x,r,p)=\rho\,r+\tfrac{1}{2}p^{2}-f(x),

is a Hamiltonian on Ω\Omega: for p,p′∈Tp,p'\in T with p≤p′p\le p', claim 2 of Monotonicity of Squaring on the Nonnegative Elements of an Ordered Field gives p2≤p′2p^{2}\le p'^{2}, hence Hρ,f(x,r,p)≤Hρ,f(x,r,p′)H_{\rho,f}(x,r,p)\le H_{\rho,f}(x,r,p').

The discounted stationary Hopf--Lax equation with discount rate ρ\rho and right-hand side ff in Ω\Omega is

ρ u+12∣∇u∣2=fin Ω,\rho\,u+\tfrac{1}{2}|\nabla u|^{2}=f\qquad\text{in }\Omega ,

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