Scaling limits and homogenization of mixing Hamilton-Jacobi equations

We study the homogenization of nonlinear, first-order equations with highly oscillatory mixing spatio-temporal dependence. It is shown in a variety of settings that the homogenized equations are stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations with deterministic, spatially homogenous Hamiltonians driven by white noise in time. The paper also contains proofs of some general regularity and path stability results for stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations, which are needed to prove some of the homogenization results and are of independent interest.

Automated summary

This study focuses on the homogenization of nonlinear, first-order equations with highly oscillatory mixing spatio-temporal dependence. The results show that the homogenized equations are stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations with deterministic, spatially homogenous Hamiltonians driven by white noise in time. Additionally, the paper proves some general regularity and path stability results for stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations, which are essential for proving homogenization results and are of independent interest.
