Abstract: The main result of this paper concerns the stability of Monge solutions to eikonal equations in metric spaces. Although the subslope used in the standard definition of Monge solutions is, in general, not stable under uniform convergence, we overcome this difficulty by introducing an equivalent nonlocal characterization based on sphere-wise subslope conditions. This approach complements existing methods based on metric viscosity solutions and enables us to establish stability directly under uniform convergence and Gromov-Hausdorff perturbations of the domain and metric, without the use of test functions. The method extends to inhomogeneous equations via the optical metric and to a broader class of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Our stability argument further enables us to develop Perron's method for Monge solutions in general complete length spaces. This yields a new Perron-type existence result for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in metric spaces, without relying on test functions.
