Abstract:

The paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem for the Hamilton-Jacobi equations of multi-dimensional space variables. We prove the sufficient and necessary condition for that a characteristic emanating from a given point never touches the set of singularity points is that the initial function attains its minimum at this point. Finally, we prove there exists one-to-one correspondence between the path connected components of the set of singularity points and  the path connected components of the set on which the initial function does not attain
 its minimum. Each path connected component of the set of the singularity points never terminates at a finite time. In particularly, it is worth pointing out that our results are obtained without assuming that the gradient of the initial function tends to zero at infinity under which the important proposition 2.7 and theorem 3.3, one of the main results in [12] are obtained.

Key words: Hamilton-Jacobi equations, Characteristic, Singularity point, Global structure
