The Viscosity Subdifferential of the Sum of Two Functions in Banach Spaces. I: First Order Case

We present a formula for the viscosity subdifferential of the sum of two uniformly continuous functions on smooth Banach spaces. This formula is deduced from a new variational principle with constraints. We obtain as a consequence a weak form of Preiss’ theorem for uniformly continuous functions. We use these results to give simple proofs of some uniqueness results of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations and we show how singlevaluedness of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi operators is related to the geometry of Banach spaces.
