We study the following wave equation $$u_{tt}-\Delta u+\alpha (t)\left| u_{t}\right| ^{m(\cdot )-2}u_{t}=0$$ with a nonlinear damping having a variable exponent m(x) and a time-dependent coefficient $$\alpha (t)$$ . We use the multiplier method to establish energy decay results depending on both m and $$\alpha $$ . We also give four numerical tests to illustrate our theoretical results using the conservative Lax–Wendroff method scheme.
