In this paper, the Razumikhin approach is applied to the study of both p-th moment and almost sure stability on a general decay for a class of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with Markovian switching. Based on the Lyapunov-Razumikhin methods, some sufficient conditions are derived to check the stability of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with Markovian switching. One numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results.

RAZUMIKHIN-TYPE THEOREM FOR NEUTRAL STOCHASTIC FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH UNBOUNDED DELAY

This paper establishes the Razumikhin-type theorem on stability for neutral stochastic functional differential equations with unbounded delay. To overcome difficulties from unbounded delay, we develop several different techniques to investigate stability. To show our idea clearly, we examine neutral stochastic delay differential equations with unbounded delay and linear neutral stochastic Volterra unbounded-delay-integro-differential equations.

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.

ASYMPTOTIC STABILITIES OF STOCHASTIC FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Asymptotic characteristic of solution of the stochastic functional differential equation was discussed and sufficient condition was established by multiple Lyapunov functions for locating the limit set of the solution. Moreover, from them many effective criteria on stochastic asymptotic stability, which enable us to construct the Lyapunov functions much more easily in application, were obtained, The results show that the wellknown classical theorem on stochastic asymptotic stability is a special case of our more general results. In the end, application in stochastic Hopfield neural networks is given to verify our results.

We not only have obtained some known solutions, but also have constructed some new rational formal stochastic Jacobi elliptic function solutions.

Technical efficiency and its determinants of the various cropping systems in the purple-soiled,hilly region of southwestern China

This study examines the technical efficiency(TE) differences among typical cropping systems of smallholder farmers in the purple-soiled hilly region of southwestern China.Household-,plot-,and crop-level data and community surveys were conducted to explore TE levels and determinants of typical cropping systems by using a translog stochastic frontier production function.Results indicate significant difference in TE and its determinants among cropping systems.The mean TEs of the rice cropping system(R),the rice-rape cropping system(RR),the rice-rape-potato cropping system(RRP),and the oil cropping system(O) are0.86,0.90,0.84,and 0.85,respectively,which are over 1.17 times higher than those of the maize-sweet potato-other crop cropping system(MSO) and the maize-sweet potato-wheat cropping system(MSW) at0.78 and 0.69,respectively.Moreover,Technical inefficiency(TIE) of different cropping systems is significantly affected by characteristics of the household as well as plot.However,the impact of land quality,mechanical cultivation conditions,crop structure,farming system,farm radius,household type,cultivated land area per capita,and annual household income per capitalon TIE vary by cropping system.Additionally,output elasticity of land,labor,and capital,as a group,is greater than the one of agricultural machinery and irrigation.Finally,when household-owned effective agricultural labor is at full farming capacity,optimal plot sizes for the R,RR,RRP,MSO,MSW,and 0 cropping systems are 1.12hm^2,0.35 hm^2,0.25 hm^2,2.82 hm^2,1.87 hm^2,and 1.17hm^2,respectively.

Linear matrix inequality approach for robust stability analysis for stochastic neural networks with time-varying delay

This paper studies the problem of linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach to robust stability analysis for stochastic neural networks with a time-varying delay. By developing a delay decomposition approach, the information of the delayed plant states can be taken into full consideration. Based on the new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some inequality techniques and stochastic stability theory, new delay-dependent stability criteria are obtained in terms of LMIs. The proposed results prove the less conservatism, which are realized by choosing new Lyapunov matrices in the decomposed integral intervals. Finally, numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the less conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed LMI 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.

An illustrative example shows the effectiveness of our results.

Quasimonotone random and stochastic functional differential equations with applications

In this paper, we study monotone properties of random and stochastic functional differential equations and their global dynamics. First, we show that random functional differential equations(RFDEs)generate the random dynamical system(RDS) if and only if all the solutions are globally defined, and establish the comparison theorem for RFDEs and the random Riesz representation theorem. These three results lead to the Borel measurability of coefficient functions in the Riesz representation of variational equations for quasimonotone RFDEs, which paves the way following the Smith line to establish eventual strong monotonicity for the RDS under cooperative and irreducible conditions. Then strong comparison principles, strong sublinearity theorems and the existence of random attractors for RFDEs are proved. Finally, criteria are presented for the existence of a unique random equilibrium and its global stability in the universe of all the tempered random closed sets of the positive cone. Applications to typical random or stochastic delay models in monotone dynamical systems,such as biochemical control circuits, cyclic gene models and Hopfield-type neural networks, are given.

Maximum principle for optimal control of neutral stochastic functional differential systems

This paper is concerned with optimal control of neutral stochastic functional differential equations(NSFDEs). The Pontryagin maximum principle is proved for optimal control, where the adjoint equation is a linear neutral backward stochastic functional equation of Volterra type(VNBSFE). The existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved for the general nonlinear VNBSFEs. Under the convexity assumption of the Hamiltonian function, a sufficient condition for the optimality is addressed as well.

Approximate controllability of impulsive neutral stochastic functional differential system with state-dependent delay in Hilbert spaces

Many practical systems in physical and technical sciences have impulsive dynamical behaviors during the evolution process which can be modeled by impulsive differential equations. In this paper, we prove the approximate controllability of control systems governed by a class of impulsive neutral stochastic functional differential system with state-dependent delay in Hilbert spaces. Sufficient conditions for approximate controllability of the control systems are established under the natural assumption that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. The results are obtained by using semigroup theory, stochastic analysis techniques, fixed point approach and abstract phase space axioms. An example is provided to illustrate the application of the obtained results.

The Existence and Uniqueness of the Solution for Neutral Stochastic Functional Differential Equations with Infinite Delay

Further results on existence-uniqueness for stochastic functional differential equations

The aim of this paper is to develop some basic theories of stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs) under the local Lipschitz condition in continuous functions space C. Firstly, we establish a global existence-uniqueness lemma for the SFDEs under the global Lipschitz condition in C without the linear growth condition. Then, under the local Lipschitz condition in C, we show that the non-continuable solution of SFDEs still exists if the drift coefficient and diffusion coefficient are square-integrable with respect to t when the state variable equals zero. And the solution of the considered equation must either explode at the end of the maximum existing interval or exist globally. Furthermore, some more general sufficient conditions for the global existence-uniqueness are obtained. Our conditions obtained in this paper are much weaker than some existing results. For example, we need neither the linear growth condition nor the continuous condition on the time t. Two examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Mechanization and efficiency in rice production in China

Agricultural mechanization and custom machine services have developed rapidly in China,which can influence rice production efficiency in the future.We calculate technical efficiency,allocative efficiency,and scale efficiency using data collected in 2015 from a face-to-face interview survey of 450 households that cultivated 3096 plots located in the five major rice-producing provinces of China.We use a one-step stochastic frontier model to calculate technical efficiency and regress the efficiency scores on socio-demographic and physical land characteristics to find the influencing variables.Variables influencing technical efficiency are compared at three different phases of rice cultivation.We also calculate technical efficiency by using the Heckman Selection Model,which addresses technological heterogeneity and self-selection bias.Results indicate that:(1)the average value of technical efficiency using a one-step stochastic frontier model was found to be 0.74.When self-selection bias is accounted for using the Heckman Selection Model,the average value of the technical efficiency increases to 0.80;(2)mechanization at the chemical application phase has a positive effect on technical efficiency,but mechanization does not affect efficiency at the plowing and harvesting phases;(3)machines are overused relative to both land and labor,and high machine input use on the small size of landholding has resulted in allocative inefficiency;(4)rice farmers are overwhelmingly operating at a sub-optimal scale.Future policies should focus on encouraging farmland transfer in rural areas to achieve scale efficiency and allocative efficiency while promoting mechanization at the chemical application phase of rice cultivation to improve technical efficiency.
