Abstract: The problem of heat conduction on networks of multiply connected rods is solved by providing an explicit solution of the one-dimensional heat equation in each domain. The size and connectivity of the rods is known, but neither temperature nor heat flux are prescribed at the interface. Instead, the physical assumptions of continuity at the interfaces are the only conditions imposed. This work generalizes that of Deconinck, Pelloni, and Sheils, 2014, for heat conduction on a series of one-dimensional rods connected end-to-end to the case of general configurations.
