Abstract:

In the work, the approach and the corresponding methods, which make it possible to construct a priori estimates of weak solutions of a differential-difference system with a spatial variable varying in a multidimensional network-like domain are indicated. Such estimates in spaces of summable functions are used to find solvability conditions for boundary value problems of various types for differential-difference systems. In addition, a priori estimates are used to justify the application of the method of discretization with respect to the time variable (semi-discretization) to the analysis of the weak solvability of initial-boundary value problems and the subsequent construction of approximations of weak solutions. The rationale for the approach used is the fact that in a fairly wide class applied analysis of the problems of transporting continuous media networks-like carriers, the representation of mathematical models of the process using the formalisms of differential-difference systems is the only tool for effectively solving these problems. For example, the reduction of a differential system (initial-boundary value problem) to the corresponding differential-difference system makes it possible not only to significantly simplify the analysis of problems of optimal control of a differential system (since this analysis reduces to studying the problem of optimal control of a system of elliptic equations), but also, using classical methods of control theory for elliptic systems, algorithmize the original problem. The reduction used often facilitates establishing the conditions for the existence and uniqueness of optimal control of a differential system. These problems also include a fairly large range of studies of non-stationary network-like hydrodynamic processes and flow phenomena. As an illustration of the approach used and the results obtained, the analysis of the solvability of the linearized Navier–Stokes system is given and the ways of studying the nonlinear Navier–Stokes system are indicated.
