# Limit of the infinite horizon discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equation

• Motivated by the infinite horizon discounted problem, we study the convergence of solutions of the Hamilton Jacobi equation when the discount vanishes. If the Aubry set consists in a finite number of hyperbolic critical points, we give an explicit expression for the limit. Additionaly, we give a new characterization of Mañé's critical value as for wich the set of viscosity solutions is equibounded.
