Quasi-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on junctions: The   multi-dimensional case
  A multi-dimensional junction is obtained by identifying the boundaries of a finite number of copies of an Euclidian half-space. The main contribution of this article is the construction of a multidimensional vertex test function G(x, y). First, such a function has to be sufficiently regular to be used as a test function in the viscosity solution theory for quasi-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on a multi-dimensional junction. Second, its gradients have to satisfy appropriate compatibility conditions in order to replace the usual quadratic pe-nalization function |x -- y| 2 in the proof of strong uniqueness (comparison principle) by the celebrated doubling variable technique. This result extends a construction the authors previously achieved in the network setting. In the multi-dimensional setting, the construction is less explicit and more delicate.
