Initial Data Identication in Space Dependent Conservation Laws and Hamilton-Jacobi Equations

Abstract

Consider a Conservation Law and a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a ux/Hamiltonian depending also on the space variable. We characterize rst the attainable set of the two equations and, second, the set of initial data evolving at a prescribed time into a prescribed prole. An explicit example then shows the deep dierences between the cases of x-independent and x-dependent uxes/Hamiltonians.
