On parabolic quasi-variational inequalities and state-dependent sweeping processes

(1.2) C(t, u) ⊂ H is nonempty, closed, and convex for t ∈ [0, T ], u ∈ H. In (1.1), NC(t,u)(x) denotes the normal cone to C(t, u) at x ∈ C(t, u), cf. Section 2 below. We will treat the case of (t, u) 7→ C(t, u) being Lipschitz continuous w.r. to the Hausdorff distance dH with constants L1, L2 ≥ 0, i.e., we require (1.3) dH(C(t, u), C(s, v)) ≤ L1|t− s|+ L2|u− v|, t, s ∈ [0, T ], u, v ∈ H. Note that a solution of (1.1) in particular has to satisfy u(t) ∈ C(t, u(t)) for t ∈ [0, T ].
