Perron’s method for Hamilton-Jacobi equations. (English) Zbl 0697.35030
In order to prove the existence of global weak solutions of the first order nonlinear scalar Hamilton-Jacobi equations $(1)\quad F(x,u,Du)=0\quad in\quad \Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^ n,$ the author presents a new simple direct method called Perron’s method. This is an analogue for (1) to the well-known method of finding solutions of Laplace equation due to O. Perron [Eine neue Behandlung der ersten Randwertaufgabe für $$\Delta u=0$$, Math. Z. 18, 42-54 (1923)].
