    Let E be a Banach space and X be a closed, convex subset of E. If \(I=[0,a)\), \(a>0\), is a real interval, let A and B be two functions from \(I\times X\) into E. The following Cauchy problem \[ (CP)\quad \dot x(t)=A(t,x(t))+B(t,x(t)),x(0)=x_ 0 \] where \(x_ 0\in X\) is considered. It is assumed that A satisfies a dissipativeness condition whereas B satisfies the following assumption: there is a measure null subset J of I such that B(t,X) is relatively compact for each \(t\in I-J\). The purpose of the note is to prove that taking advantage of an isomorphic property of Banach spaces, namely the Gelfand Phillips property, is it possible to prove the existence of a solution of (CP) under the above assumptions (and other standard assumptions like Caratheodory's hypotheses on A and B or the existence of a special comparison function)? So it is shown that it is possible to relax the assumption of compactness of the range of B considered by all of the previous authors for the same problem using the compactness of B(t,X) for almost every \(t\in I\).
