Abstract: In this work, we present a numerical method to consistently approximate solutions of a spatially discrete, double sine-Gordon chain which considers the presence of external damping. In addition to the finite-difference scheme employed to approximate the solution of the difference-differential equations of the model under investigation, our method provides positivity-preserving schemes to approximate the local and the total energy of the system, in such way that the discrete rate of change of the total energy with respect to time provides a consistent approximation of the corresponding continuous rate of change. Simulations are performed, first of all, to assess the validity of the computational technique against known qualitative solutions of coupled sine-Gordon and coupled double sine-Gordon chains. Secondly, the method is used in the investigation of the phenomenon of nonlinear transmission of energy in double sine-Gordon systems; the qualitative effects of the damping coefficient on the occurrence of the nonlinear process of supratransmission are briefly determined in this work, too.
