Abstract
We extend the theory of topological localised interface modes to systems with damping. The spectral problem is formulated as a root-finding problem for the interface impedance function and Rouch\'e's theorem is used to track the zeros when damping is introduced. We show that the localised eigenfrequencies, corresponding to interface modes, remain for non-zero dampings. Using the transfer matrix method, we explicitly characterise the decay rate of the interface mode.
