  We study global existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the wave
equation with time-dependent damping and a power nonlinearity in the
overdamping case. We prove the global well-posedness for small data in the
energy space for the whole energy-subcritical case. This result implies that
small data blow-up does not occur in the overdamping case, different from the
other cases, i.e. effective or non-effective damping.
