Stability in Probability and Inverse Optimal Control of Evolution Systems Driven by Levy Processes

This paper first develops a Lyapunov-type theorem to study global well-posedness(existence and uniqueness of the strong variational solution)and asymptotic stability in probability of nonlinear stochastic evolution systems(SESs)driven by a special class of Levy processes,which consist of Wiener and compensated Poisson processes.This theorem is then utilized to develop an approach to solve an inverse optimal stabilization problem for SESs driven by Levy processes.The inverse optimal control design achieves global well-posedness and global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system,and minimizes a meaningful cost functional that penalizes both states and control.The approach does not require to solve a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation(HJBE).An optimal stabilization of the evolution of the frequency of a certain genetic character from the population is included to illustrate the theoretical developments.

Stability of a Delayed Stochastic Epidemic COVID-19 Model with Vaccination and with Differential Susceptibility

In this paper, we treat the spread of COVID-19 using a delayed stochastic SVIRS (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered, Susceptible) epidemic model with a general incidence rate and differential susceptibility. We start with a deterministic model, then add random perturbations on the contact rate using white noise to obtain a stochastic model. We first show that the delayed stochastic differential equation that describes the model has a unique global positive solution for any positive initial value. Under the condition R0 ≤ 1, we prove the almost sure asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium of the model.

On stabilization for a class of nonlinear stochastic time-delay systems:a matrix inequality approach

This paper treats the feedback stabilization of nonlinear stochastic time-delay systems with state and control-dependent noise. Some locally （globally） robustly stabilizable conditions are given in terms of matrix inequalities that are independent of the delay size. When it is applied to linear stochastic time-delay systems, sufficient conditions for the state-feedback stabilization are presented via linear matrix inequalities. Several previous results are extended to more general systems with both state and control-dependent noise, and easy computation algorithms are also given.

Variational formula for the stability of regime-switching diffusion processes

The asymptotical stability in probability is studied for diffusion processes and regime-switching diffusion processes in this work. For diffusion processes, some criteria based on the integrability of the functionals of the coefficients are given, which yield a useful comparison theorem on stability with respect to some nonlinear systems. For regime-switching diffusion processes, some criteria based on the idea of a variational formula are given. Both state-independent and state-dependent regime-switching diffusion processes are investigated in this work. These conditions are easily verified and are shown to be sharp by examples.

Theory and application of stability for stochastic reaction diffusion systems

So far, the Lyapunov direct method is still the most effective technique in the study of stability for ordinary differential equations and stochastic differential equations. Due to the shortage of the corresponding It6 formula, this useful method has not been popularized in stochastic partial differential equations. The aim of this work is to try to extend the Lyapunov direct method to the It6 stochastic reaction diffusion systems and to establish the corresponding Lyapunov stability theory, including stability in probablity, asymptotic stability in probablity, and exponential stability in mean square. As the application of the obtained theorems, this paper addresses the stability of the Hopfield neural network and points out that the main results ob- tained by Holden Helge and Liao Xiaoxin et al. can be all regarded as the corollaries of the theorems presented in this paper.

Modular design of adaptive robust controller for strict-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems

A modular approach of the estimation-based design in adaptive linear control systems has been extended to the adaptive robust control of strict-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems with additive standard Wiener noises and constant unknown parameters.By using Itô’s differentiation rule,nonlinear damping and adaptive Backstepping procedure,the input-to-state stable controller of global stabilization in probability is developed,which guarantees that system states are bounded and the system has a robust stabilization.According to Swapping technique,we develop two filters and convert dynamic parametric models into static ones to which the gradient update law is designed.Transient performance of the system is estimated by the norm of error.Results of simulation show the effectiveness of the control algorithms.The modular design,which has a concise hierarchy,is more flexible and versatile than a Lyapunov-based algorithm.
