title = "SECOND ORDER SYSTEMS ON HILBERT SPACES WITH NONLINEAR DAMPING",
abstract = "We investigate a special class of nonlinear infinite dimensional systems. These systems are obtained by modifying the second order differential equation that is part of the description of conservative linear systems {"}out of thin air{"} introduced by Tucsnak and Weiss in 2003. The modified differential equation contains a new nonlinear damping term that is maximal monotone and possibly set-valued. We show that this new class of nonlinear infinite dimensional systems is incrementally scattering passive (hence well-posed). Our approach uses the theory of maximal monotone operators and the Crandall-Pazy theorem about nonlinear contraction semigroups, which we apply to a Lax-Phillips type nonlinear semigroup that represents the whole system. We illustrate our result on the n-dimensional wave equation.",
