Abstract

The adjoint method, recently introduced by Evans, is used to study obstacle problems,weakly coupled systems, cell problems for weakly coupled systems of Hamilton − Jacobiequations, and weakly coupled systems of obstacle type. In particular, new results aboutthe speed of convergence of some approximation procedures are derived.
