Abstract: This paper presents a variational approach to doubly-nonlinear (gradient) flows (P) of nonconvex energies along with nonpotential perturbations (i.e., perturbation terms without any potential structures). An elliptic-in-time regularization of the original equation ${m(P)}_{v}arepsilon$ is introduced, and then, a variational approach and a fixed-point argument are employed to prove existence of strong solutions to regularized equations. More precisely, we introduce a functional (defined for each entire trajectory and including a small approximation parameter $varepsilon$) whose Euler-Lagrange equation corresponds to the elliptic-in-time regularization of an unperturbed (i.e. without nonpotential perturbations) doubly-nonlinear flow. Secondly, due to the presence of nonpotential perturbation, a fixed-point argument is performed to construct strong solutions $u_{v}arepsilon$ to the elliptic-in-time regularized equations ${m(P)}_{v}arepsilon$. Here, the minimization problem mentioned above defines an operator $S$ whose fixed point corresponds to a solution $u_{v}arepsilon$ of ${m(P)}_{v}arepsilon$. Finally, a strong solution to the original equation (P) is obtained by passing to the limit of $u_{v}arepsilon$ as $varepsilono0$. Applications of the abstract theory developed in the present paper to concrete PDEs are also exhibited.
