Abstract

We are now concerned with the existence of sub-actions for Lipschitz continuous potentials. In this chapter, with the aid of a suitable operator, we will show that calibrated sub-actions do exist and can be obtained as solutions of a Lax-Oleinik fixed point problem. Instead making use of a version of the classical Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point theorem, we apply a result due to Ishikawa regarding an iteration process for approximating fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, which, at least in theory, opens up interesting simulation possibilities.
