Monotone Order Properties for Control of Nonlinear Parabolic PDE on Graphs
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We derive conditions for the propagation of monotone ordering properties for a class of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems on metric graphs. For such systems, PDE equations with a general nonlinear dissipation term define evolution on each edge, and balance laws create Kirchhoff-Neumann boundary conditions at the vertices. Initial conditions, as well as time-varying parameters in the coupling conditions at vertices, provide an initial value problem (IVP). We first prove that ordering properties of the solution to the IVP are preserved when the initial conditions and time-varying coupling law parameters at vertices are appropriately ordered. In addition, we prove that when monotone ordering is not preserved, the first crossing of solutions occurs at a graph vertex. We consider the implications for robust optimal control formulations and real-time monitoring involving uncertain dynamic flows on networks, and discuss application to subsonic compressible fluid flow with energy dissipation on physical networks.
