Abstract
SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, Volume 56, Issue 3, Page 3386-3411, June 2024. Abstract. Pedestrian evacuation in a corridor can de described mathematically by different variants of the model introduced by R. L. Hughes [Transp. Res. Part B Methodol., 36 (2002), pp. 507–535]. We identify a class of such models for which existence of a solution is obtained via a topological fixed point argument. In these models, the dynamics of the pedestrian density [math] (governed by a discontinuous-flux Lighthill, Whitham, and Richards model [math]) is coupled to the computation of a Lipschitz continuous “turning curve” [math]. We illustrate this construction by several examples, including the Hughes model with affine cost (a variant of the original problem that is encompassed in the framework of El-Khatib, Goatin, and Rosini [Z. Angew. Math. Phys., 64 (2013), pp. 223–251]. Existence holds either with open-end boundary conditions or with boundary conditions corresponding to panic behavior with capacity drop at exits. Other examples put forward versions of the Hughes model with inertial dynamics of the turning curve and with general costs.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis (SIMA) features research articles of the highest quality employing innovative analytical techniques to treat problems in the natural sciences. Every paper has content that is primarily analytical and that employs mathematical methods in such areas as partial differential equations, the calculus of variations, functional analysis, approximation theory, harmonic or wavelet analysis, or dynamical systems. Additionally, every paper relates to a model for natural phenomena in such areas as fluid mechanics, materials science, quantum mechanics, biology, mathematical physics, or to the computational analysis of such phenomena.
Submission of a manuscript to a SIAM journal is representation by the author that the manuscript has not been published or submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.
Typical papers for SIMA do not exceed 35 journal pages. Substantial deviations from this page limit require that the referees, editor, and editor-in-chief be convinced that the increased length is both required by the subject matter and justified by the quality of the paper.
