Abstract
We consider the ergodic (or additive eigenvalue) problem for the Neumann- type boundary-value problem for Hamilton-Jacobi equations and the corresponding discounted problems. Denoting by u(lambda) the solution of the discounted problem with discount factor lambda > 0, we establish the convergence of the whole family {u(lambda)} lambda > 0 to a solution of the ergodic problem as.. 0, and give a representation formula for the limit function via the Mather measures and Peierls function. As an interesting by-product, we introduce Mather measures associated with Hamilton-Jacobi equations with the Neumann- type boundary conditions. These results are variants of the main results in a recent paper by Davini et al., who study the same convergence problem on smooth compact manifolds without boundary.
