Stabilization of the Gear-Grimshaw system with weak damping

The aim of this work is to consider the internal stabilization of a nonlinear coupled system of two Korteweg--de Vries equations in a finite interval under the effect of a very weak localized damping. The system was introduced by Gear and Grimshaw to model the interactions of two-dimensional, long, internal gravity waves propagation in a stratified fluid. Considering feedback controls laws and using Compactness--Uniqueness Argument, which reduce the problem to use a unique continuation property, we establish the exponential stability of the weak solutions when the exponent in the nonlinear term ranges over the interval $[1,4)$.
