Abstract

We consider the Volterra integro-differential equation with a time-dependent prox-regular constraint that changes in an absolutely continuous way in time (a Volterra absolutely continuous time-dependent sweeping process). The aim of our paper is twofold. The first one is to show the solvability of the initial value problem by setting up an appropriate catching-up algorithm (full discretization). This part is a continuation of our paper (Bouach et al. in arXiv: 2102.11987. 2021) where we used a semi-discretization method. Obviously, strong solutions and convergence of full discretization scheme are desirable properties, especially for numerical simulations. Applications to non-regular electrical circuits are provided. The second aim is to establish the existence of optimal solution to an optimal control problem involving the Volterra integro-differential sweeping process.
