Abstract
The numerical method developed in Nour and Zeidan (IEEE Control Syst. Lett. 6:1190-1195, 2022) via the exponential penalization technique for optimal control problems involving sweeping processes with sweeping set C generated by onesmooth function, is generalized in this paper to the case where C is nonsmooth. That is, C is the intersection of a finite number (greater than one) of sublevel sets of smooth functions. The change from one to greater than one generating smooth functions is quite challenging. Indeed, while in the latter case C could be reformulated as being generated by one function, however, this function is only Lipschitz, and hence, the method established for one generating smooth function is not applicable to this framework. Therefore, this general setting requires a new approach, which represents the novelty of this paper.
