Abstract

The Stokes-Dirac structure is used for a representation of distributed parameter port Hamiltonian systems. In this case, the object of the study is a manifold with a uniform boundary. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an extended model of Stokes-Dirac structures, called Morse-Smale-Dirac structure. The model has the capability of dealing with a complex phenomenon that there exist both inflows and outflows through a non-uniform boundary. Then, it is shown that the structure is related to a property of the whole manifold including a number of critical points. This situation means a global boundary connected structure in the sense of topology.
