Physical systems such as water and gas networks are usually operated in a state of equilibrium and feedback control is employed to damp small perturbations over time. We consider flow problems on networks, described by hyperbolic balance laws, and analyze the stability of the linearized systems. Sufficient conditions for exponential stability in the continuous and discretized setting are presented. The analysis is extended to arbitrary Sobolev norms. Computational experiments illustrate the theoretical findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
