Abstract

We give sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to the Hamilton--Jacobi equations with Dirichlet boundary condition: $$ \cases{ g(x,{\hbox{\rm det}}Du(x))=0, \ & for a.e. $x\in\Omega,$\cr u(x)=\varphi(x), & for $x\in\partial\Omega,$} $$ obtaining, in addition, an application to the theory of existence of minimizers for a class of nonconvex variational problems.
