Arendt, Wolfgang (ed.) et al., Spectral theory, mathematical system theory, evolution equations, differential and difference equations. Selected papers of 21st international workshop on operator theory and applications, IWOTA10, Berlin, Germany, July 12–16, 2010. Basel: Birkhäuser (ISBN 978-3-0348-0296-3/hbk; 978-3-0348-0297-0/ebook). Operator Theory: Advances and Applications 221, 653-666 (2012).
The purpose of this paper is to present a unified approach for obtaining well-posedness of various evolution equations on (finite or infinite) graphs in a Hilbert space setting. The authors rely on a general structural result on evolution equations in mathematical physics proved in [R. Picard, Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 32, No. 14, 1768–1803 (2009; Zbl 1200.35050)]. The main issue is to obtain a skew-selfadjoint realisation of the respective spacial operators, and the authors classify this in terms of the appropriate boundary conditions on graphs. Transport, wave, and heat equations are presented as examples (possibly including delay terms).
