Abstract
We prove the local existence of solutions of a sweeping process involving a locally prox-regular set of constraints with an upper semicontinuous set-valued perturbation contained in the Clarke subdifferential of a nonconvex function. The study requires the quantified concept of local prox-regularity for the set of constraints. This paper can be considered as an improvement of previous works, since this existence (local) result is established without compactness condition on the set of constraints.
