Abstract. We present a "non-standard method" to treat wave equations on networks, leading to a transport process on the doubled directed graph. From the node conditions, we derive a flow governed by a certain adjacency matrix which, in particular, builds the bridge to the theory of difference operators. This approach provides the fundament for a powerful method to examine (boundary-)controllability and to prove stability results for damped and delay-damped networks of wave equations.Mathematics subject classification (2010): 47B39.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
