Abstract: We establish the existence of global Lipschitz continuous weak entropy solutions to the Cauchy problem for a class of quasilinear wave equations with an external positional force. We prove the consistency and the convergence of uniformly bounded finite--difference fractional step approximations. Therefore the uniform bound is shown to hold for globally Lipschitz continuous external forces.
