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.

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF NEUTRAL FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

This paper is to obtain sufficient conditions under which the neutral functional differential equation d/dx[x(t) + integral(c)(t) x(s)d(s) mu(t, s)] + integral(c)(t) f(t, x(s))d(s) eta(t, s) = 0, t greater than or equal to t(0) greater than or equal to c (1) has a positive solution on [c, +infinity). Some results in [1] are generalized. Then we apply our results to functional differential equations of special form and obtain sufficient conditions for those equations to have a positive solution.
