Most studies focus on classical damping (e.g., viscous damping) or integer-order damping in hyperbolic problems, whereas the impact of fractional-order damping on control and optimization in metric graphs has received limited attention. Given the potential applications of these results to real-world problems such as pollution transport in river networks, traffic flow control, and heat propagation in branched structures, this presents a significant and promising research gap. This paper addresses a quadratic control problem involving a damped linear fractional hyperbolic equation subject to Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The considered fractional derivative is a composition of the right Caputo fractional derivative and the left Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. We first give some existence and uniqueness results on an open bounded real interval, prove the existence of solutions to a quadratic optimal control problem and provide a characterization via optimality systems. We then investigate the analogous problems for a fractional Damped hyperbolic problem on a metric graph with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary controls. The paper’s motivation likely arises from the desire to advance mathematical theory and control theory, especially in the context of complex systems represented by metric graphs. The potential impact or applications of these results span a wide range of fields, from engineering and network control to medical imaging and environmental science, where understanding and optimizing damped hyperbolic systems are essential.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34733,"journal":{"name":"Results in Control and Optimization","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100563"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve the system efficiently, a restarting Physics-Informed Neural Network (r-PINN) is employed and benchmarked against the basic PINN. Numerical simulations reveal that r-PINN achieves a reduced training duration of 236.17 s compared to 289.18 s for the basic PINN, representing an 18.32% improvement in computational efficiency. Moreover, r-PINN demonstrates enhanced predictive accuracy, reducing the mean absolute error (MAE) by 4.12%, mean squared error (MSE) training loss by 12.04%, and MSE test loss by 5.11%. These results were validated against the Finite Difference Method (FDM), ensuring correctness of the proposed PINN-based approach.
