Sweeping process with right uniformly lower semicontinuous mappings (Q2299378): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the sweeping process \[ -\dot{x}(t)\in N^{P}\left( C(t),x(t)\right) \text{ a.e. on }\left[T_{0},T\right], \] \[ x\left( T_{0}\right) =x_{0}\in C\left( T_{0}\right) \] where \(N^{P}\) denotes the proximal normal cone in an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space. \(C\) is assumed to be prox regular and closed set valued, and uniformly lower semicontinuous from the right. Existence and uniqueness of solutions are proven by constructing a sequence of approximate solutions using a discretization scheme from [\textit{L. Thibault}, J. Convex Anal. 23, No. 4, 1051--1098 (2016; Zbl 1360.34032)]. Next, as a corollary, the authors prove existence and uniqueness for the problem with a single-valued, bounded and measurable perturbation term. Next, the existence of solutions is proven for a set-valued perturbation which is closed and convex valued, and is scalarly upper semicontinuous with respect to both variables. Finally, using an idea from [\textit{J. Noel} and \textit{L. Thibault}, Vietnam J. Math. 42, No. 4, 595--612 (2014; Zbl 1315.34068)], this last result is extended to one which holds on an unbounded interval.
