Hyperbolicity and exponential convergence of the Lax-Oleinik semigroup

For a convex superlinear Lagrangian on a compact manifold M it is known that there is a unique number c such that the Lax-Oleinik semigroup has a fixed point. Moreover for any u∈C(M,R) the uniform limit exists.In this paper we assume that the Aubry set consists in a finite number of periodic orbits or critical points and study the relation of the hyperbolicity of the Aubry set to the exponential rate of convergence of the Lax-Oleinik semigroup.
