Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of a new class of implicit state-dependent sweeping processes with history-dependent operators. Based on the methods of convex analysis, we prove the equivalence of the history/state dependent implicit sweeping process and a nonlinear differential equation, which, through a fixed point argument for history-dependent operators, enables us to prove the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of the solution in a very general framework. Moreover, we present some new convergence results with respect to perturbations in the data, including perturbations of the associated moving sets. Finally, the theoretical results are applied to prove the well-posedness of a history-dependent quasi-static contact problem.
