Linear transport of particles on networks

We introduce a model of transport of particles in a network, which is represented by a connected graph with m vertices and n edges. Each edge represents a one-dimensional conductor of particles, whose behavior is described by means of a linear Boltzmann-like equation. In graph vertices, a system of linear boundary conditions is given which takes into account the exchanges of particles between the edges. The well-posedness of the initial value problem is studied into an abstract L1-like setting and the structure of the solution is given for simplest case of pure streaming transport.
