Abstract:
In 1987, Lions firstly proposed the homogenization for Hamilton-Jacobi equations, which revealed the significance of effective Hamiltonian in controlling the large time behavior of solutions. He also pointed out a vanishing discount procedure which is equivalent in obtaining the effective Hamiltonian, yet the convergence of solutions in this procedure was unknown until recently. In a bunch of joint works, we verified this convergence by using dynamical techniques.
