We study the initial-boundary value problem for an Euler–Bernoulli beam model with discontinuous bending stiffness laying on a viscoelastic foundation and subjected to an axial force and an external load both of Dirac-type. The corresponding model equation is a fourth-order partial differential equation and involves discontinuous and distributional coefficients as well as a distributional right-hand side. Moreover the viscoelastic foundation is of Zener-type and described by a fractional differential equation with respect to time. We show how functional analytic methods for abstract variational problems can be applied in combination with regularization techniques to prove existence and uniqueness of generalized solutions.

Abstract We are interested in the evolution phenomena on star-like networks composed of several branches which vary considerably in physical properties. The initial boundary value problem for singularly perturbed hyperbolic differential equation on a metric graph is studied. The hyperbolic equation becomes degenerate on a part of the graph as a small parameter goes to zero. In addition, the rates of degeneration may differ in different edges of the graph. Using the boundary layer method the complete asymptotic expansions of solutions are constructed and justified.

By constructing a special set of A-orthonormal functions, it is shown that, under certain smoothness assumptions, the variational and Fourier series representations for the solution of first initial boundary value problems for the simple parabolic differential equation coincide. This result is then extended in order to construct a variational representation for the solution of a very general first initial boundary value problem for this equation.

We consider the initial-boundary value problem for the parabolic partial differential equation1.1in the bounded domain D, contained in the upper half of the xy-plane, where a part of the x-axis lies on the boundary B(see Fig.1).
