A Near-Optimal Rate of Periodic Homogenization for Convex Hamilton-Jacobi Equations

We consider a Hamilton-Jacobi equation where the Hamiltonian is periodic in space and coercive and convex in momentum. Combining the representation formula from optimal control theory and a theorem of Alexander, originally proved in the context of first-passage percolation, we find a rate of homogenization which is within a log-factor of optimal and holds in all dimensions.

Automated summary

We studied a problem concerning the Hamilton-Jacobian equation, where the Hamiltonian is periodic, coercive, and convex. By combining the representation formula from optimal control theory and a theorem by Alexander, we obtained a homogenized rate that is close to optimal and holds in all dimensions.
