Exponential Stability and exact controllability of a system of coupled wave equations by second order terms (via Laplacian) with only one non-smooth local damping

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate the exponential stability of a second order coupled wave equations by laplacian with one locally internal viscous damping. Firstly, using a unique continuation theorem combined with a Carleman estimate, we prove that our system is strongly stable without any geometric condition. Secondly, using a combination of the multiplier techniques and the frequency domain approach, we show that our system is exponentially stable under \textbf{(PMGC)} condition on the damping region without any restriction on wave propagation speed (i.e whether the two wave equations propagate at the same speed or not)

We will add some a particular case and after that we submit a new version
