Abstract
A study on the Lax solution to a Hamilton-Jacobi equation is presented. It is proved that the function defined by the infimum-based Lax formula provides a solution almost everywhere in x for each fixed t>0 to the Hamilton-Jacobi, Cauchy problem. A generalization of the Lax formula is developed for the more inclusive Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
