Abstract

Minimax solutions are weak solutions to Cauchy problems involving Hamilton--Jacobi equations, constructed from generating families quadratic at infinity of their geometric solutions. We give a complete description of minimax solutions and we classify their generic singularities of codimension not greater than 2.
