Nonlinear Waves in Networks FROM THE PUBLISHER
Existence, regularity, and uniqueness of local solutions in time are studied for quasi-linear wave equations on one-dimensional networks with linear transmission conditions. The connections of these results to a concept for the unified description of interactions between media with time evolution, developed by the author himself, are outlined.

Examines local existence in the time variable of smooth solutions of quasilinear wave equations on one-dimensional networks with linear transmission conditions, a problem that arises in the modeling of transversal vibrations of networks of strings. Explains how the results obtained are connected with a concept for the description of complicated interactions between media involving time evolution, a topic Ali Mehmeti has developed in earlier papers.
