Unbounded state-dependent sweeping processes with perturbations in uniformly convex and q-uniformly smooth banach spaces

Abstract

In this paper, the existence of solutions for a class of first and second order unbounded state-dependent sweeping processes with perturbation in uniformly convex and q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces are analyzed by using a discretization method. The sweeping process is a particular differential inclusion with a normal cone to a moving set and is of a great interest in many concrete applications. The boundedness of the moving set, which plays a crucial role for the existence of solutions in many works in the literature, is not necessary in the present paper. The compactness assumption on the moving set is also improved.
