Abstract: We consider the second order Cauchy problem

u+m(|A^{1/2}u|^2)Au=0, u(0)=u_{0}, u'(0)=u_{1}, where $m : [0, + i n f t y) o [0, + i n f t y)$ is a continuous function, and $A$ is a self-adjoint nonnegative operator with dense domain on a Hilbert space. It is well known that this problem admits local-in-time solutions provided that $u_{0}$ and $u_{1}$ are regular enough, depending on the continuity modulus of $m$ , and on the strict/weak hyperbolicity of the equation. We prove that for such initial data $(u_{0}, u_{1})$ there exist two pairs of initial data $(o v e r l i n e u_{0}, o v e r l i n e u_{1})$ , $(w i d e h a t u_{0}, w i d e h a t u_{1})$ for which the solution is global, and such that $u_{0} = o v e r l i n e u_{0} + w i d e h a t u_{0}$ , $u_{1} = o v e r l i n e u_{1} + w i d e h a t u_{1}$ . This is a byproduct of a global existence result for initial data with a suitable spectral gap, which extends previous results obtained in the strictly hyperbolic case with a smooth nonlinearity $m$ .
