Metric Hopf-Lax Formula with
Semicontinuous Data.
Federica Dragoni.
Abstract
In this paper we study a metric Hopf-Lax formula looking in parti-
cular at the Carnot-Carath´eodory case. We generalize many proper-
ties of the classical euclidean Hopf-Lax formula and we use it in order
to get existence results for Hamilton-Jacobi-Cauchy problems satisfy-
ing a suitable H¨ormander condition.
