Degenerate Eikonal equations with discontinuous refraction index

Abstract: Abstract.We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for eikonal type equations of ray light propagation in an inhomogeneous medium with discontinuous refraction index. We prove a comparison principle that allows us to obtain existence and uniqueness of a continuous viscosity solution when the Lie algebra generated by the coefficients satisfies a Hörmander type condition. We require the refraction index to be piecewise continuous across Lipschitz hypersurfaces. The results characterize the value function of … Show more

“…Viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with discontinuous Hamiltonians have been studied extensively by many authors, in different settings; we refer to the books by Barles [2] and Bardi and CapuzzoDolcetta [1] for a general treatment. They have been used in the analysis of geodesic distances and in the study of some discontinuous control problems, combustion phenomena in nonhomogeneous media, and geometric optic propagation in the presence of layers; see [6,20,22,23]. Measurable Hamiltonians have been considered in [7][8][9]11].…”
