Global piecewise classical solutions to quasilinear hyperbolic systems on a tree-like network

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability of global piecewise [Formula: see text] solution to the mixed initial-boundary value problem for 1-D quasilinear hyperbolic systems on a tree-like network. Under the assumption of boundary dissipation, when the given boundary and interface functions possess suitably small [Formula: see text] norm, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of global piecewise [Formula: see text] solution. Moreover, when they further possess a polynomial or exponential decaying property with respect to [Formula: see text], then the corresponding global piecewise [Formula: see text] solution possesses the same or similar decaying property. These results will be used to show the asymptotic stability of the exact boundary controllability of nodal profile on a tree-like network.
