This paper is concerned with global stabilization of the system governed by coupled sine-Gordon equations without damping. A stabilizer is constructed by boundary velocity feedback. The closed-loop system is shown to be well posed by the non-linear semigroup approach. Moreover, using a multiplier method, global exponential stabilization of the closed-loop system is proved.
Keywords: coupled sine-Gordon equations; global asymptotic stabilization; boundary control; multiplier method.
