Monotone systems involving variable-order nonlocal operators

Main Article Content

Miguel Yangari

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of bounded viscosity solutions for parabolic Hamilton–Jacobi monotone systems in which the diffusion term is driven by variable-order nonlocal operators whose kernels depend on the space-time variable. We prove the existence of solutions via Perron’s method, and considering Hamiltonians with linear and superlinear nonlinearities related to their gradient growth we state a comparison principle for bounded sub and supersolutions.
Moreover, we present steady-state large time behavior with an exponential rate of convergence.

Paraules clau
viscosity solutions, Hamilton–Jacobi, variable-order nonlocal operators, comparison principles, large time behavior
