Abstract:
 This work concerns the indirect observability properties for the
 finite-difference space semi-discretization of the 1-d coupled wave equations
 with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We assume that only one of
 the two components of the unknown is observed. As for a single wave equation,
 as well as for the direct (complete) observability of the coupled wave equations,
 we prove the lack of the numerical observability. However, we show that a
 uniform observability holds in the subspace of solutions in which the initial
 conditions of the observed component is generated by the low frequencies.
 Our main proofs use a two-level energy method at the discrete level and a
 Fourier decomposition of the solutions.
