Hamilton-Jacobi equations in metric spaces

These are lecture notes for our minicourse at OIST Summer Graduate School “Analysis and Partial Differential Equations” on June 12-17, 2023. We give an overview and collect a few important results concerning the well-posedness of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in metric spaces, especially several recently proposed notions of metric viscosity solutions to the eikonal equation. Basic knowledge about metric spaces and a review of viscosity solution theory in the Euclidean spaces are also presented.
