Abstract We provide a unified strategy to show that solutions of dynamic programming principles associated to the p-Laplacian converge to the solution of the corresponding Dirichlet problem. Our approach includes all previously known cases for continuous and discrete dynamic programming principles, provides new results, and gives a convergence proof free of probability arguments.
