Abstract
This paper investigates the preservation of uniform stability for a spatial semi-discrete finite difference scheme applied to a one-dimensional wave equation with nonlinear internal damping. The discretization process employs the order reduction method. Unlike previous studies, this system focuses on a nonlinear system, with absolute stability being a special case. Due to the nonlinearity, the system may not always exhibit exponential stability, but it can be polynomially stable in some cases. After semi-discretization, the system transforms into an infinitely large number of lumped parameter nonlinear systems. Achieving uniform exponential stability, particularly polynomial stability, is a challenging endeavor. We demonstrate that when the nonlinear function satisfies certain conditions at the origin and infinity, the system possesses polynomial stability. These properties are preserved during the semi-discretization process. The mathematical proofs are similar to those for the continuous counterpart in many ways.
