Sweeping processes with prescribed behaviour on jumps

Abstract: We present a generalized formulation of sweeping process where the behaviour of the solution is prescribed at the jump points of the driving moving set. An existence and uniqueness theorem for such formulation is proved. As a consequence we derive a formulation and an existence/uniqueness theorem for sweeping processes driven by an arbitrary BV moving set, whose evolution is not necessarily right continuous. Applications to the play operator of elastoplasticity are also shown.
