Abstract:
We establish $L^p$ error estimates for monotone numerical schemes approximating Hamilton--Jacobi equations on the $d$-dimensional torus. Using the adjoint method, we first prove a $L^1$ error bound of order one for finite-difference and semi-Lagrangian schemes under standard convexity assumptions on the Hamiltonian. By interpolation, we also obtain $L^p$ estimates for every finite $p>1$. Our analysis covers a broad class of schemes, improves several existing results, and provides a unified framework for discrete error estimates.
