EXISTENCE AND MOMENT ESTIMATES FOR SOLUTIONS TO NEUTRAL STOCHASTIC FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we show the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a large class of SFDEs with the generalized local Lipschitzian coefficients. Some moment estima- tes of the solutions are given by establishing new Ito operator inequalities based on the Razumikhin technique. These estimates improve, extend and unify some related results including exponential stability of Mao （1997） [20], decay stability of Wu et al. （2010,2011） [32,33], Pavlovic et al. （2012） [24], asymptotic behavior of Luo et al. （2011） [18] and Song et al. （2013） [26]. Moreover, stochastic version of Wintner theorem in continuous space is established by the comparison principle, which improve and extend the main results of Xu et al. （2008 [39], 2013 [36]）. When the methods presented are applied to the SFDEs with impulses and SFDEs in Hilbert spaces, we extend the related results of Govindana et al. （2013） [7], Liu et al. （2007） [15], Vinod- kumar （2010） [29] and Xu et al. （2012） [35]. Two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
