This article focuses on proving global existence for quasilinear wave equations with small initial data in homogeneous waveguides with infinite base of dimensions $n\geq 4$. The key estimate is a localized energy estimate for a perturbed wave equation.
Keywords: localized energy estimate., quasilinear wave equation, Waveguides.
