We prove that if periodic Eq.(1) possesses the solution ξ(t) that is uniformly asymptotically stable with respect to then Eq.(1) has an mω-periodic solution p(t), for some integer m≥1. Furthermore, we prove that if the almost periodic Eq.(1) possesses the solution ξ(t) that is stable under disturbance from H+ (ξ,D,f), then Eq.(1) has an almost periodic solution.

Asymptotic and stable properties of general stochastic functional differential equations

The asymptotic and stable properties of general stochastic functional differential equations are investigated by the multiple Lyapunov function method, which admits non-negative up-per bounds for the stochastic derivatives of the Lyapunov functions, a theorem for asymptotic properties of the LaSal e-type described by limit sets of the solutions of the equations is obtained. Based on the asymptotic properties to the limit set, a theorem of asymptotic stability of the stochastic functional differential equations is also established, which enables us to construct the Lyapunov functions more easily in application. Particularly, the wel-known classical theorem on stochastic stability is a special case of our result, the operator LV is not required to be negative which is more general to fulfil and the stochastic perturbation plays an important role in it. These show clearly the improvement of the traditional method to find the Lyapunov functions. A numerical simulation example is given to il ustrate the usage of the method.

Stability of Neutral Stochastic Differential Equations with Multiple Variable Delays

This paper discusses the pth moment stability of neutral stochastic differential equations with multiple variable delays. The equation has a much more general form than the neutral stochastic differential equations with delay. A new kind of φ-function is introduced to address the stability, which is more general than the exponential stability and polynomial stability. Using a specific Lyapunov function, a stability criteria for the neutral stochastic differential equations with multiple variable delays is established, by which it is relatively easy to verify the stability of such equations. Finally, the proposed theories are illustrated by two examples.

For periodic Eq. (1), we prove that if Eq. (1) possesses the solution ξ(t) that is uniformly asymptotically stable with respect to H.f(ξ),then Eq. (1 ) has an mω -- periodic solution p(t), for some integer m ≥1. Furthermore, we prove that if almost periodic Eq. (1 ) possesses the solution ξ(t) that is stable under disturbance from H+ (ξ,D,f), then Eq. (1) has an almost periodic solution.

Study on Robust Uniform Asymptotical Stability for Uncertain Linear Impulsive Delay Systems

In the area of control theory the time-delay systems have been investigated. It's well known that delays often result in instability, therefore, stability analysis of time-delay systems is an important subject in control theory. As a result, many criteria for testing the stability of linear time-delay systems have been proposed. Significant progress has been made in the theory of impulsive systems and impulsive delay systems in recent years. However, the corresponding theory for uncertain impulsive systems and uncertain impulsive delay systems has not been fully developed. In this paper, robust stability criteria are established for uncertain linear delay impulsive systems by using Lyapunov function, Razumikhin techniques and the results obtained. Some examples are given to illustrate our theory.
