Homogenization of Viscous Sublinear Hamilton--Jacobi Equations with $u\mathrm{/}ϵ$-Dependence

We study the periodic homogenization of a class of viscous Hamilton–Jacobi equations with fast dependence on the unknown. This problem combines features of first-order Hamilton–Jacobi equations with $u^{ϵ}\mathrm{/}ϵ$-periodic Hamiltonians and semilinear heat equations with rapidly oscillating positive potentials. In this paper, we prove qualitative homogenization results for $H(y,s,p)=F(s,p)+\eta W(y,s,p)$ when $\mathrm{\mid }\eta \mathrm{\mid }$ is sufficiently small, with the smallness threshold depending on the Lipschitz constant of the initial datum, and establish a large-time averaging result for a general class of evolutionary cell problems.
