First-Order Sweeping Processes and Extended Projected Dynamical Systems: Equivalence, Time-Discretization and Numerical Optimal Control

Anton Pozharskiy, Armin Nurkanović, Moritz Diehl

Constrained dynamical systems are systems such that, by some means, the state stays within a given set. Two such systems are the (perturbed) Moreau sweeping process and the recentl…
