Abstract
We consider a tree-shaped network of vibrating elastic strings, with feedback acting on the root of the tree. Using the d’Alembert representation formula, we show that the input-output map is bounded, i.e. this system is a well-posed system in the sense of G. Weiss (Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 342 (1994), 827–854). As a consequence we prove that the strings networks are not exponentially stable in the energy space. Moreover, we give explicit polynomial decay estimates valid for regular initial data.
