Abstract

for a convex, coercive continuous Hamiltonian on a closed Riemannian manifold M, we construct a unique forward weak KAM solution of

$$H(x,{d_x}u) = c(H)$$

by a vanishing discount approach, where c(H) is the Mañé critical value. We also discuss the dynamical significance of such a special solution.
