“…These types of equations have been studied extensively in many fields of mathematics. For damped wave equations, see [4,5,13,20,27,30]; for Euler-Bernoulli beam equations, see [1,2,10,11,21,23,25,26,28,29] and references therein. The time discretization of these equations, to the best of our knowledge, is usually carried out by standard integration schemes such as Runge-Kutta methods or multistep methods.…”
