Abstract

We consider Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the Heisenberg group . We establish uniqueness of bounded viscosity solutions with continuous initial data . When the hamiltonian H is radial, convex and superlinear the solution is given by the Hopf-Lax formula where the Lagrangian L is the horizontal Legendre transform of H lifted to the algebra by requiring it to be radial with respect to the Carnot-Carathéodory metric.
