Controlled polyhedral sweeping processes: existence, stability, and optimality conditions (Q6155316)

The authors study controlled sweeping processes with polyhedral moving sets in Hilbert spaces. New existence and uniqueness theorems for sweeping trajectories corresponding to various classes of control functions acting in moving sets are provided. In addition, estimates on the sweeping trajectory dependence on controls and initial values are establihed. Finally, in finite-dimensional state spaces, necessary optimality and suboptimality conditions for sweeping control systems with endpoint constrains are deived, by using an approach relying on constructive discrete approximations.
