We show local existence of solutions to the initial boundary value problem corresponding to a semilinear wave equation with interior damping and source terms. The difficulty in dealing with these two competitive forces comes from the fact that the source term is not a locally Lipschitz function from H¹(Ω) into L²(Ω) as typically assumed in the literature. The strategy behind the proof is based on the physics of the problem, so it does not use the damping present in the equation. The...
