Foreword
These lecture notescontainthe materialrelative to the coursesgivenat the CIME
SummerSchoolheldinCetraro,Italy,fromAugust29toSeptember3, 2011.The
topic was Hamilton–Jacobi Equations: Approximations, Numerical Analysis and
Applications
The courses dealt mostly with the following subjects: first-order and second-
order Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations, properties of viscosity solutions,
homogenizationandasymptoticbehaviours,meanfield games,approximationand
numericalmethods,andidempotentanalysis.Thecontentofthecourseswentfrom
an introductionto viscosity solutionsto quite advancedtopics, at the cutting edge
of the research in the field. We believe that they opened perspectiveson new and
delicateissues.

The participants came from several countries (ordered decreasingly with the
numberof participants):Italy, France, the USA, Argentina,Austria, Chile, China,
Germany,Japan,Greece,Iran,Rumania,Russia,SwedenandVietnam.

1990. He has worked on viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic and
parabolic equations, including in particular Hamilton–Jacobi equations and
variousapplicationslikedislocations.
• Hitoshi Ishii was a professor at Chuo University (Tokyo) (April 1989–March
1996)and atTokyoMetropolitanUniversity(April1996–March2001).He has
