Non-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations with gradient constraints (2010.13622v1)

Abstract: We study non-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the presence of gradient constraints and produce new, optimal, regularity results for the solutions. A distinctive feature of those equations regards the existence of a lower bound to the norm of the gradient; it competes with the elliptic operator governing the problem, affecting the regularity of the solutions. This class of models relates to various important questions and finds applications in several areas; of particular interest is the modeling of optimal dividends problems for multiple insurance companies in risk theory and singular stochastic control in reversible investment models.
