Abstract

We consider the problem of damping a control system with delay described by first-order functional-differential equations on a temporal tree. The delay in the system is time-proportional and propagates through the internal vertices. The problem of minimizing the energy functional with account of the probabilities of the scenarios corresponding to different edges is studied. We establish the equivalence of this variational problem to a certain boundary value problem for second-order functional-differential equations on the tree, possessing both the global contractions and the global extensions, and prove the unique solvability of both problems. In particular, it is established that the optimal trajectory obeys Kirchhoff-type conditions at the internal vertices.
