Abstract
We establish a maximum principle for viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions of equations of the form
ut + F(t,dxu) = 0, u(0,x) = u0(x), where u0 :M R is a bounded uniformly continuous function, M is
a Riemannian manifold, and F :[0,) × T M R. This yields uniqueness of the viscosity solutions of
such Hamilton­Jacobi equations.
