Although the scheme is implicit, the use of second-order finite difference approximations for the strong damping term in both space and time prevents it from being unconditionally stable. A sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability of the scheme is established by applying the Jury stability criterion to show that all roots of the characteristic polynomial associated with the resulting linear recurrence lie strictly inside the unit disk. This stability condition is derived under an appropriate constraint that links the time and space discretization steps with the damping and delay parameters. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the decay behavior of the scheme and confirm the theoretical findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms14070497","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]],"date-time":"2025-06-26T05:53:13Z","timestamp":1750917193000},"page":"497","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Asymptotic Stability of a Finite Difference Scheme for a Wave Equation with Delayed Damping"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4360-4448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manal","family":"Alotaibi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Center for Integrative Petroleum Research (CIPR), King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104814","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijrmms.2021.104814","article-title":"Assessment of induced vibrations derived from the wave superposition in time-delay blasts","volume":"144","author":"Gou","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
