Hamilton-Jacobi equations and other types of partial differential equa­ tions of the first order are dealt with in many branches of mathematics, mechanics, and physics. These equations are usually nonlinear, and func­ tions vital for the considered problems are not smooth enough to satisfy these equations in the classical sense. An example of such a situation can be provided by the value function of a differential game or an optimal control pr...
