A parabolic system of three unknown functions, not expressible as gradient flows, is treated as three coupled gradient flows. For each unknown function, the minimizing movement scheme is used to construct a time-discrete approximate solution. Unlike standard minimizing movement scheme for gradient flows, the relative compactness of the time-discrete approximate solution with respect to the time step is not inherently guaranteed. However, the existence of a Lyapunov functional ensures this relative compactness, leading to the existence of time-global solutions.
