The vanishing viscosity limit for Hamilton-Jacobi equations on Networks [PDF]
, 2012 For a Hamilton-Jacobi equation defined on a network, we introduce its vanishing viscosity approximation. The elliptic equation is given on the edges and coupled with Kirchhoff-type conditions at the transition vertices. We prove that there exists exactly
