Abstract

Viscosity solutions to the eikonal equation |Du|g = 1, known to be exactly distance-like functions, on a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold (M,g) are crucial for understanding the underlying geometric and topological properties. In this work, we explore metric viscosity solutions, distance-like functions and their relationship on a metric space, especially on the Wasserstein space Pp(X) where X is a complete, separable, locally compact and non-compact geodesic space. Meanwhile, we provide two distinct ways to construct (strong) metric viscosity solutions on Pp(X) and study their properties.
