We introduce a model of transport of particles in a network, which is represented by a connected graph with m vertices and n edges. Each edge represents a one-dimensional conductor of particles, whose behavior is described by means of a linear Boltzmann-like equation. In graph vertices, a system of linear boundary conditions is given which takes into account the exchanges of particles between the edges. The well-posedness of the initial value problem is studied into an abstract L1-like setting and the structure of the solution is given for simplest case of pure streaming transport.

These lecture notes accompany two classes given at the NRHEP2 school. In the first lecture I introduce the basic concepts used for analyzing well-posedness, that is the existence of a unique solution depending continuously on given data, of evolution partial differential equations. I show how strong hyperbolicity guarantees well-posedness of the initial value problem. Symmetric hyperbolic systems are shown to render the initial boundary value problem well-posed with maximally dissipative boundary conditions. I discuss the Laplace–Fourier method for analyzing the initial boundary value problem. Finally, I state how these notions extend to systems that are first-order in time and second-order in space. In the second lecture I discuss the effect that the gauge freedom of electromagnetism has on the PDE status of the initial value problem. I focus on gauge choices, strong-hyperbolicity and the construction of constraint preserving boundary conditions. I show that strongly hyperbolic pure gauges can be used to build strongly hyperbolic formulations. I examine which of these formulations is additionally symmetric hyperbolic and finally demonstrate that the system can be made boundary stable.

We investigate the initial value problem for a defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with exponential nonlinearity [Formula: see text] We identify subcritical, critical, and supercritical regimes in the energy space. We establish global well-posedness in the subcritical and critical regimes. Well-posedness fails to hold in the supercritical case.

We discuss the Cauchy problem and the junction conditions within the framework of f ( R ) -gravity with torsion. We derive sufficient conditions to ensure the well-posedness of the initial value problem, as well as general conditions to join together on a given hypersurface two different solutions of the field equations. The stated results can be useful to distinguish viable from nonviable f ( R ) -models with torsion.

We study the problem of the well-posedness for the abstract Cauchy problem associated to the non-autonomous one-dimensional wave equation utt = A(t)u with general Wentzell boundary conditions Here A(t)u := (a(x, t)ux)x, a(x, t) ≥ ε > 0 in [0, 1] × [0, + ∞) and βj(t) > 0, γj(t) ≥ 0, (γ0(t), γ1(t)) ≠ (0,0). Under suitable regularity conditions on a, βj, γj we prove the well-posedness in a suitable (energy) Hilbert space
