This article focuses on a quasilinear wave equation of
$ p $
-Laplacian type:
$u_{tt} - Δ_p u -Δ u_t = 0$
in a bounded domain
$ \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3 $
 with a sufficiently smooth boundary
$ \Gamma = \partial \Omega $
 subject to a generalized Robin boundary condition featuring boundary damping and a nonlinear source term. The operator
$ Δ_p $
,
$ 2<p<3 $
, denotes the classical
$ p$
-Laplacian. The nonlinear boundary term
$ f(u) $
 is a source feedback that is allowed to have a supercritical exponent, in the sense that the associated Nemytskii operator is not locally Lipschitz from
$ {W^{1,p}}\left( \Omega \right) $
 into
$ L^2(\Gamma) $
. Under suitable assumptions on the parameters we provide a rigorous proof of existence of a local weak solution which can be extended globally in time provided the source term satisfies an appropriate growth condition.
Keywords: Wave equation, $ p $-Laplacian, supercritical source, local existence, generalized Robin condition.
