Abstract

ABSTRACT In the present paper, we are concerned with a fractional wave equation of Sturm–Liouville type in a general star graph. We first give several existence, uniqueness and regularity results of weak solutions for the one-dimensional case using the spectral theory; we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a quadratic boundary optimal control problem and provide a characterization of the optimal control via the Euler–Lagrange first-order optimality conditions. We then investigate the analogous problems for a fractional Sturm–Liouville problem in a general star graph with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions and controls of the velocity. We show the existence and uniqueness of minimizers, and by using the first-order optimality conditions with the Lagrange multipliers, we are able to characterize the optimal controls.
