"We consider the one-dimensional wave equation with an indefinite sign damping and a zero order potential term. Using a shooting method, we establish the asymptotic expansion of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the damped wave equation for a large class of coefficients. In addition, if the damping coefficient is "more positive than negative", we prove that the energy of system decays uniformly exponentially to zero. This generalizes a previous work of Freitas and Zuazua (1996). "
