Abstract

Using the min-plus version of the spectral radius formula, one proves: 1) that the unique eigenvalue of a min-plus eigenvalue problem depends continuously on parameters involved in the kernel defining the problem; 2) that the numerical method introduced by Chou and Griffiths to compute this eigenvalue converges.A toolbox recently developed at I.n.r.i.a. helps to illustrate these results. Frenkel-Kontorova models serve as example. The analogy with homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations is emphasized.
