Compactness estimates for Hamilton-Jacobi equations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
For scalar conservations laws in one space dimension, P. Lax was the first to obtain compactness properties of the solution semigroup. Such properties were subsequently analyzed by several authors in quantitative terms using Kolmogorov's entropy. In this talk, we shall explain how to adapt such approach to the Hopf-Lax semigroup of solutions to first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations in arbitrary space dimension, and discuss related controllability issues.
