A \(C^\ast\)-algebra associated with dynamics on a graph of strings (Q500099)

A self-adjoint \(C^*\)-operator algebra \(\mathfrak{C}\) used in other papers of the first author is introduced. In the present paper, the dynamical system \[ \begin{cases} u_tt -\Delta u=0 &\text{in }\Omega \times (0,T),\\ u|_{t=0} =u_t |_{t=0} =0 &\text{in }\Omega,\\ u=f &\text{on }\Gamma \times [0,T], \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega\) is a finite compact metric graph, \(\Gamma\) is the set of its boundary vertices, \(\Delta\) is the Laplace operator in \(\Omega\) is considered. This shows the possible applications of the algebra \(\mathfrak{C}\) to inverse problems.
