Infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems with a stationary interface

Abstract

We consider two systems of two conservation laws that are defined on complementary, one-dimensional spatial intervals and coupled by an interface as a single port-Hamiltonian system. In case of a fixed interface position, we characterize the boundary and interface conditions for which the associated port-Hamiltonian operator generates a contraction semigroup. Furthermore, we present sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of the generated $C_0$-semigroup. The results are illustrated by the example of two acoustic waveguides coupled by a membrane interface.
