In this paper we propose a new approach to prove the nonlinear (internal or boundary)
stabilization of certain nondissipative distributed systems (the usual energy is not
decreasing). This approach leads to decay estimates (known in the dissipative case) when

In this paper we propose a new approach to prove the nonlinear (internal or boundary) stabilization of certain nondissipative distributed systems (the usual energy is not decreasing). This approach leads to decay estimates (known in the dissipative case) when the integral inequalities method due to Komornik [Exact Controllability and Stabilization. The Multiplier Method, Masson, Paris, John Wiley, Chichester, UK, 1994] cannot be applied due to the lack of dissipativity.
First we study the stability of a semilinear wave equation with a nonlinear damping based on the equation
We consider the general case with a function h satisfying a smallness condition, and we obtain uniform decay of strong and weak solutions under weak growth assumptions on the feedback function and without any control of the sign of the derivative of the energy related with the above equation.
In the second part we consider the case with . We prove some precise decay estimates (exponential or polynomial) of equivalent energy without any restriction on .
The same results will be proved in the case of boundary feedback.
Finally, we comment on some applications of our approach to certain nondissipative distributed systems.
