Stochastic homogenization of interfaces moving with changing sign velocity. (English) Zbl 1308.35024
Summary: We are interested in the averaging behavior of interfaces moving in stationary ergodic environments with oscillatory normal velocity which changes sign. The problem can be reformulated as the homogenization of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a positively homogeneous of degree one non-coercive Hamiltonian. The periodic setting was studied earlier by P. Cardaliaguet et al. [J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 91, No. 4, 339–363 (2009; Zbl 1180.35070)]. Here, we concentrate in the random media and show that the solutions of the oscillatory Hamilton-Jacobi equation converge in $$L^\infty$$-weak $$\star$$ to a linear combination of the initial datum and the solutions of several initial value problems with deterministic effective Hamiltonian(s), determined by the properties of the random media.
