We perform a qualitative investigation of critical Hamilton–Jacobi equations, with stationary ergodic Hamiltonian, in dimension 1. We show the existence of approximate correctors, give characterizing conditions for the existence of correctors, provide Lax-type representation formulae and establish comparison principles. The results are applied to look into the corresponding effective Hamiltonian and to study a homogenization problem. In the analysis a crucial role is played by tools from stochastic geometry such as, for instance, closed random stationary sets.
