The Lax-Oleinik semi-group on graphs

Abstract

We consider Tonelli Lagrangians on a graph, define weak KAM solutions, which happen to be the fixed points of the Lax-Oleinik semi-group, and identify their uniqueness set as the Aubry set, giving a representation formula. Our main result is the long time convergence of the Lax Oleinik semi-group. Weak KAM solutions are viscosity solutions, and in the case of Hamiltonians called of eikonal type in [CS], we prove that the converse holds.
