∗The author was partially supported by M.U.R.S.T. Progr. Nazionale “Problemi Non Lineari...”In this work we analyse the nonlinear Cauchy problem (∂tt − ∆)u(t, x) = ( λg + O(1/(1 + t + |x|)^a) ) ) ∇t,x u(t, x), ∇t,x u(t, x) ), whit initial data u(0, x) = e u0 (x), ut (0, x) = e u1 (x). We assume a ≥ 1, x ∈ R^n (n ≥ 3) and g the matrix related to the Minkowski space. It can be considerated a pertubation of the case when the quadratic term has constant coefficient λg (see Klainerman [6]) We prove a global existence and uniqueness theorem for very regular initial data. The proof avoids a direct application of Klainermann method (Null condition, energy conformal method), because the result is obtained by a combination beetwen the energy estimate (norm L^2 ) and the decay estimate (norm L^∞ ).
