Existence results for non-smooth second order differential inclusions, Convergence result for a numerical scheme and applications for modelling inelastic collisions

Abstract

We are interested in existence results for second order differential inclusions, involving finite number of unilateral constraints in an abstract framework. These constraints are described by a set-valued operator, more precisely a proximal normal cone to a time-dependent set. Moreover we extend a numerical scheme, introduced in [8] and proved a convergence result. We propose applications in modelling inelastic collisions between rigid particles too.
