Abstract: The initial-value problem for the perturbed gradient flow [ B(t,u(t)) in partialPsi_{u(t)}(u'(t))+partial mathcal E_t(u(t)) ext{ for a.a. } tin (0,T),qquad u(0)=u_0 ] with a perturbation $B$ in a Banach space $V$ is investigated, where the dissipation potential $Ps{i}_u:Vightarrow[0,+infty)$ and the energy functional $mathcal{E}_t:Vightarrow(-infty,+infty]$ are nonsmooth and supposed to be convex and nonconvex, respectively. The perturbation $B:[0,T]imesVightarrow{V}^{\ast },(t,v)mapstoB(t,v)$ is assumed to be continuous and satisfies a growth condition. Under additional assumptions on the dissipation potential and the energy functional, existence of strong solutions is shown by proving convergence of a semi-implicit discretization scheme with a variational approximation technique.
