Finite difference preserving the energy properties of a coupled system of diffusion equations

In this paper we proved the exponential decay of the energy of a numerical scheme in finite difference applied to a coupled system of diffusion equations. At the continuous level, it is well-known that the energy is decreasing and stable in the exponential sense. We present in detail the numerical analysis of exponential decay to numerical energy since holds the stability criterion.
