Abstract

The existence and the convergence (up to a subsequence) of the Moreau-Yosida regularization for the state-dependent sweeping process with nonregular (subsmooth and positively alpha-far) sets are established. Then, by a reparametrization technique, the existence of solutions for bounded variation continuous state-dependent sweeping processes with nonregular (subsmooth and positively alpha-far) sets is proved. An application to vector hysteresis is discussed, where it is shown that the Play operator with positively alpha-far sets is well defined for bounded variation continuous inputs.
