Continuous dependence estimates for the ergodic problem of Bellman-Isaacs operators via the parabolic Cauchy problem
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 18 (2012) no. 4, pp. 954-968.

This paper concerns continuous dependence estimates for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs operators. We establish such an estimate for the parabolic Cauchy problem in the whole space  [0, +∞) × ℝn and, under some periodicity and either ellipticity or controllability assumptions, we deduce a similar estimate for the ergodic constant associated to the operator. An interesting byproduct of the latter result will be the local uniform convergence for some classes of singular perturbation problems.
