A review of conservation laws on networks

Abstract

This paper deals with various applications of conservation laws on networks. In particular we consider the car traffic, described by the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model and by the Aw-Rascle-Zhang model, the telecommunication case, by using the model introduced by D'Apice-Manzo-Piccoli and, finally, the case of a gas pipeline, modeled by the classical $p$-system. For each of these models we present a review of some results about Riemann and Cauchy problems in the case of a network, formed by a single vertex with $n$ incoming and $m$ outgoing arcs.
