Abstract

In this paper, we study minimax Aubry-Mather measures and its main properties. We consider first the discrete time problem and then the continuous time case. In the discrete time problem, we establish existence, study some of the main properties using duality theory and present some examples. In the continuous time case, we establish both existence and non-existence results. First, we give some examples showing that in continuous time stationary minimax Mather measures are either trivial or fail to exist. A more natural definition in continuous time are T-periodic minimax Mather measures. We give a complete characterization of these measures and discuss several examples.
