Summary
We study the continuous viscosity solutions of the evolutionary Hamilton–Jacobi equation ∂t U (t, x) + H (x , ∂x U (x, t)) = 0 on [0, + ∞[xM, where H is a Tonelli Hamiltonian on the noncompact manifold M. We establish that all such solutions are given by the Lax–Oleinik formula. Moreover, we show that a finite everywhere Lax–Oleinik evolution is necessarily continuous and a viscosity solution on [0, + ∞ [xM. The goal is also to provide a convenient reference for the evolutionary Hamilton–Jacobi equation for Tonelli Hamiltonians on noncompact manifolds.
