Well-posedness of systems of 1-D hyperbolic partial differential equations

Abstract

We consider the well-posedness of a class of hyperbolic partial differential equations on a one dimensional spatial domain. This class includes in particular infinite-dimensional networks of transport, wave and beam equations, or even combinations of these. Equivalent conditions for contraction semigroup generation are derived. In the first part we assume a finite interval and in the second part, we consider partial differential equations on the semi-axis.
