In this paper we establish new characterizations of the normal cone of closed convex sets in reflexive smooth Banach spaces and then we use those results to prove the existence of solutions for first order convex sweeping processes and their variants in reflexive smooth Banach spaces. The case of second order convex sweeping processes is also studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
