Let $$H$$ and $$V$$ be two real separable Hilbert spaces such that $$V$$ is a dense subspace of $$H$$. Let the single-valued operator $$A$$ be given which is hemicontinuous and coercive from $$V$$ to $$V^{*}$$. Here, $$V^{*}$$ stands for the dual space of $$V$$. Let $$\varphi: V\to (-\infty,+\infty]$$ be a lower semicontinuous proper convex function. The authors study the existence, uniqueness and a variation of solution to the following initial value problem $\frac{d x(t)}{d t}+A x(t)+\partial \varphi (x(t))\notin f(t,x(t))+h(t), \quad t\in [0,T],$ $$x(0)=x_{0},$$ where $$f:\mathbb{R}\times V\to H$$ is Lipschitz continuous, $$h:\mathbb{R}\to H$$ and $$\partial \varphi: V\to V^{*}$$ is the subdifferential multivalued operator of $$\varphi$$ defined by $\partial\varphi (x)=\{x^{*}\in V^{*}: \varphi(x)\leq \varphi(y) + (x^{*},x-y), \quad y\in V \},$ where $$(.,.)$$ denotes the duality pairing between $$V^{*}$$ and $$V$$.
