In this paper, the uniform exponential decay of the energy for a fully discretization of the 1-D wave equation has been studied with a punctual interior damping at 𝜉 (𝜉 ∈ (0, 1)). It is known that the usual scheme obtained with a space discretization is not uniformly exponential decaying. In this direction, we have introduced an implicit finite difference scheme that differs from the usual centered one by additional terms of order h 2 and 𝛿t 2 (where h and 𝛿t represent the discretization parameters). In this approach, the fully discrete system was decomposed into two subsystems, namely conservative and nonconservative.According to the literature, it has been noted that under a numerical hypothesis on 𝜉, a uniform observability inequality holds for a conservative system. The uniform exponential decay of the energy for the damped system was proved via the application of the observability inequality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
