Abstract: We consider the second order Cauchy problem

u+m{u}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 $m$ . It is also well known that the solution is unique when $m$ is locally Lipschitz continuous. In this paper we prove that if either $< A u_{0}, u_{1} > e q 0$ , or $| A^{1 / 2} u_{1} |^{2} e q m u_{0} | A u_{0} |^{2}$ , then the local solution is unique even if $m$ is not Lipschitz continuous.
