review text: This paper is concerned with the non-local first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equation \[ \partial_t u+ H(t,x,u,\nabla u)+ g[u]= 0\quad\text{in }[0,\infty)\times \mathbb{R}^N,\tag{1} \] \[ u(0,x)= u_0(x)\quad\text{for all }x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\tag{2} \] with \(u_0\in W^{1,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N)\), where \(\nabla u\) denotes the gradient w.r.t. \(x\), and \(g[u]\) denotes the pseudodifferential operator defined by the symbol \(|\xi|^\lambda\), \(1< \lambda< 2\). The main result asserts that there exists a solution of (1) with bounded Lipschitz continuous initial condition that is twice continuously differentiable in \(x\) and continuously differentiable in \(t\), i.e. is regular. Firstly, the viscosity solution theory is used to give a notion of merely continuous solution of (1) and to construct a bounded Lipschitz continuous one. Secondly, using Duhamel's integral representation of (1), an ``integral'' solution that is \(C^2\) in \(x\) is constructed by a fixed point method and is proved that the ``integral'' solution is \(C^1\) in \(t\). It finally turns out to be a viscosity solution of (1) (with classical derivatives); the comparison result (which implies uniqueness) permits to conclude. The author also proves that higher regularity (in fact \(C^\infty\) regularity in \((t,x)\)) can be obtained if the assumptions on \(H\) are strengthened. For \(\lambda= 2\), this method for proving regularity results is new. In the last section, thinking of the vanishing viscosity method, a vanishing Lévy operator is considered and an error estimate is given.
