Remarks on the vanishing viscosity process of state-constraint Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Abstract

We investigate the convergence rate in the vanishing viscosity process of the solutions to the subquadratic state-constraint Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We give two different proofs of the fact that, for nonnegative Lipschitz data that vanish on the boundary, the rate of convergence is $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{\epsilon })$ in the interior. Moreover, the one-sided rate can be improved to $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon )$ for nonnegative compactly supported data and $\mathcal{O}({\epsilon }^{1/(p-\frac{1}{2})})$ (where $1<p\le 2$ is the exponent of the gradient term) for nonnegative data $f\in {\mathrm{C}}^2(\overline{\Omega })$ such that $f=0$ and $Df=0$ on the boundary. Our approach relies on deep understanding of the blow-up behavior near the boundary and semiconcavity of the solutions.
