Time--dependent equations on networks

Abstract

We study well posedness of time--dependent Hamilton--Jacobi equations on a network, coupled with a continuous initial datum and a flux limiter. We show existence and uniqueness of solutions as well as stability properties. The novelty of our approach is that comparison results are proved linking the equation to a suitable semidiscrete problem, bypassing doubling variable method. Further, we do not need special test functions, and perform tests relative to the equations on different arcs separately.
