We prove integral formulations of the eikonal equation ut = c(x,t)|Du|, equivalent to the notion of viscosity solution in the framework of the set-theoretic approach to front propagation problems. We apply these integral formulations to investigate the regularity of the front: we prove that under regularity assumptions on the velocity c, the front has locally finite perimeter in {c 6= 0}, and we give a time-integral estimate of its perimeter.
