Comparison, Uniqueness and Continuity on Energy Sublevel Sets for Envelope Viscosity Solutions of the Discounted HJB Equation with Free Langevin Noise in a Wall

Without any semicontinuity assumption, a bounded envelope subsolution lies below a bounded envelope supersolution on the domain of the free energy; bounded envelope solutions are unique and automatically Wasserstein-continuous on every sublevel set of the free energy.

Statement

In the setting of The Discounted HJB Equation with Free Langevin Noise in a Wall, Envelope Form: Standing Notation, suppose D\mathcal{D} is nonempty, and assume that the Hamiltonian H\mathcal{H} satisfies the structure condition at bounded positions, is uniformly continuous in the momentum at bounded positions, and absorbs shifts at noise level σ\sigma.

1. (Comparison) Let u,v:Σd2→Ru,v:\Sigma^{2}_{d}\to\mathbb{R} be bounded, let uu be an envelope viscosity subsolution and vv an envelope viscosity supersolution of (E)(\mathrm{E}), each with some shift range. Then u(κd(μ))≤v(κd(μ))u(\kappa_{d}(\mu))\le v(\kappa_{d}(\mu)) for every μ∈D\mu\in\mathcal{D}.

2. (Uniqueness) Any two bounded envelope viscosity solutions u,v:Σd2→Ru,v:\Sigma^{2}_{d}\to\mathbb{R} of (E)(\mathrm{E}), each with some shift range, satisfy u(κd(μ))=v(κd(μ))u(\kappa_{d}(\mu))=v(\kappa_{d}(\mu)) for every μ∈D\mu\in\mathcal{D}.

3. (Continuity on energy sublevel sets) Let u:Σd2→Ru:\Sigma^{2}_{d}\to\mathbb{R} be a bounded envelope viscosity solution of (E)(\mathrm{E}) with some shift range, and let cc be real. Then the function μ↦u(κd(μ))\mu\mapsto u(\kappa_{d}(\mu)) on the set {μ∈D:E(μ)≤c}\{\mu\in\mathcal{D}:\mathcal{E}(\mu)\le c\} is continuous for the metric W2W_{2}.
