Two approximations of solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. (English) Zbl 0556.65076

The paper is concerned with the approximation of solutions of the Cauchy problem for first order partial differential equations of Hamilton-Jacobi type. Two sorts of approximations are considered - finite difference schemes and the method of vanishing viscosity. The paper establishes the convergence of these difference approximations to suitable generalized solutions by obtaining explicit error estimates.
