EnglishThis paper addresses the Cauchy problem for the gradient flow equation in a Hilbert space governed by a proper, lower semicontinuous functional which is not supposed to be a (smooth perturbation of a) convex one. Some new existence results for the solutions of the equation are obtained by exploiting a variational approximation technique, featuring some ideas from the theory of Minimizing Movements and of Young measures. The analysis is also motivated by some models describing phase transitions phenomena, leading to systems of evolutionary PDEs which have a common underlying gradient flow structure: in particular, we will focus on quasistationary models, which exhibit highly non convex Lyapunov functionals.
