Nonlinear stability of stationary waves to damped wave equations has been studied by many authors in recent years, the main difficulty lies in how to control the possible growth of its solutions caused by the nonlinearity of the equation under consideration. An effective way to overcome such a difficulty is to use the smallness of the initial perturbation and/or the smallness of the strength of the stationary waves and based on this argument, local stability of strong increasing stationary waves for convex flux functions and weak decreasing stationary waves for general flux functions are well-established, cf. [11,13,15]. As to the nonlinear stability result with large initial perturbation, the only results available now are [3,4] which use the smallness of the stationary waves to overcome the above mentioned difficulty and consequently, although the initial perturbation can be large, it does require that it satisfies certain growth condition as the strength of the stationary waves tends to zero. Thus a natural question of interest is, for any initial perturbation lying in certain Sobolev space $H^s\left({\bf R}_+\times{\bf R}^{n-1}\right)$, how to obtain the global stability of stationary waves to the damped wave equations? The main purpose of this manuscript is devoted to this problem.
