Exponential stability for stochastic neutral partial functional differential equations

In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic neutral partial functional differential equations in a real separable Hilbert space. Some conditions on the existence and uniqueness of a mild solution of this class of equations and also the exponential stability of the moments of a mild solution as well as its sample paths are obtained. The known results in Govindan [T.E. Govindan, Almost sure exponential stability for stochastic neutral partial functional differential equations, Stochastics 77 (2005) 139-154], Liu and Truman [K. Liu, A. Truman, A note on almost sure exponential stability for stochastic partial functional differential equations, Statist. Probab. Lett. 50 (2000) 273-278] and Taniguchi [T. Taniguchi, Almost sure exponential stability for stochastic partial functional differential equations, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 16 (1998) 965-975; T. Taniguchi, Asymptotic stability theorems of semilinear stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces, Stochastics 53 (1995) 41-52] are generalized and improved.     

Almost surely asymptotic stability of neutral stochastic differential delay equations with Markovian switching

The main aim of this paper is to discuss the almost surely asymptotic stability of the neutral stochastic differential delay equations (NSDDEs) with Markovian switching. Linear NSDDEs with Markovian switching and nonlinear examples will be discussed to illustrate the theory.     

On pathwise super-exponential decay rates of solutions of scalar nonlinear stochastic differential equations

This paper studies the pathwise asymptotic stability of the zero solution of scalar stochastic differential equation of Itô type. In particular, we provide conditions for solutions to converge to zero at a given rate, which is faster than any exponential rate of decay. The results completely classify the rates of decay of many parameterised families of stochastic differential equations.     

Almost sure exponential stability of backward Euler-Maruyama discretizations for hybrid stochastic differential equations

This is a continuation of the first author’s earlier paper [1] jointly with Pang and Deng, in which the authors established some sufficient conditions under which the Euler-Maruyama (EM) method can reproduce the almost sure exponential stability of the test hybrid SDEs. The key condition imposed in [1] is the global Lipschitz condition. However, we will show in this paper that without this global Lipschitz condition the EM method may not preserve the almost sure exponential stability. We will then show that the backward EM method can capture the almost sure exponential stability for a certain class of highly nonlinear hybrid SDEs.     

Exponential stability for neutral stochastic partial differential equations with delays and Poisson jumps

In this paper, we consider a class of neutral stochastic partial differential equations with delays and Poisson jumps. Sufficient conditions for the existence and exponential stability in mean square as well as almost surely exponential stability of mild solutions are derived by means of the Banach fixed point principle. An example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed result.

Fixed points and exponential stability of mild solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with delays

The fixed-point theory is first used to consider the stability for stochastic partial differential equations with delays. Some conditions for the exponential stability in pth mean as well as in sample path of mild solutions are given. These conditions do not require the monotone decreasing behavior of the delays, which is necessary in [T. Caraballo, K. Liu, Exponential stability of mild solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with delays, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 17 (1999) 743-763; Ruhollan Jahanipur, Stability of stochastic delay evolution equations with monotone nonlinearity, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 21 (2003) 161-181]. Even in this special case, our results also improve the results in [T. Caraballo, K. Liu, Exponential stability of mild solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with delays, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 17 (1999) 743-763].     

Rates of decay and growth of solutions to linear stochastic differential equations with state-independent perturbations

The paper studies the almost sure asymptotic convergence to zero of solutions of perturbed linear stochastic differential equations, where the unperturbed equation has an equilibrium at zero, and all solutions of the unperturbed equation tend to zero, almost surely. The perturbation is present in the drift term, and both drift and diffusion coefficients are state‐dependent. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure convergence of solutions to the equilibrium of the unperturbed equation. In particular, a critical polynomial rate of decay of the perturbation is identified, such that solutions of equations in which the perturbation tends to zero more quickly that this rate are almost surely asymptotically stable, while solutions of equations with perturbations decaying more slowly that this critical rate are not asymptotically stable. As a result, the integrability or convergence to zero of the perturbation is not by itself sufficient to guarantee the asymptotic stability of solutions when the stochastic equation with the perturbing term is asymptotically stable. Rates of decay when the perturbation is subexponential are also studied, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential stability.     

Exponential stability of energy solutions to stochastic partial differential equations with variable delays and jumps

In this work, we investigate stochastic partial differential equations with variable delays and jumps. We derive by estimating the coefficients functions in the stochastic energy equality some sufficient conditions for exponential stability and almost sure exponential stability of energy solutions, and generalize the results obtained by Taniguchi [T. Taniguchi, The exponential stability for stochastic delay partial differential equations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331 (2007) 191-205] and Wan and Duan [L. Wan, J. Duan, Exponential stability of non-autonomous stochastic partial differential equations with finite memory, Statist. Probab. Lett. 78 (5) (2008) 490-498] to cover a class of more general stochastic partial differential equations with jumps. Finally, an illustrative example is established to demonstrate our established theory.     

Fixed points and exponential stability for stochastic Volterra-Levin equations

In this paper we study a stochastic Volterra-Levin equation. By using fixed point theory, we give some conditions for ensuring that this equation is exponentially stable in mean square and is also almost surely exponentially stable. Our result generalizes and improves on the results in [14], [1] and [30].     

Homogenization problem for stochastic partial differential equations of Zakai type

We discuss homogenization for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) of Zakai type with periodic coefficients appearing typically in nonlinear filtering problems. We prove such homogenization by two different approaches. One is rather analytic and the other is comparatively probabilistic.     

Positivity and stability for some partial functional differential equations

The aim of this work is to study the stability for some linear partial functional differential equations. We assume that the linear part is non-densely defined and satisfies the Hille-Yosida condition. Using the positiveness, we give nessecary and sufficient conditions independently of the delay to ensure the uniform exponential stability of the solution semigroup. An application is given for a reaction diffusion equation with several delays.

Razumikhin-type exponential stability criteria of neutral stochastic functional differential equations

The paper discusses both pth moment and almost sure exponential stability of solutions to neutral stochastic functional differential equations and neutral stochastic differential delay equations, by using the Razumikhin-type technique. The main goal is to find sufficient stability conditions that could be verified more easily then by using the usual method with Lyapunov functionals. The analysis is based on paper [X. Mao, Razumikhin-type theorems on exponential stability of neutral stochastic functional differential equations, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 28 (2) (1997) 389-401], referring to mean square and almost sure exponential stability.     

Moment exponential stability and integrability of stochastic functional differential equations

The main objective of the paper is to present sufficient conditions ensuring the pth mean and almost sure exponential stability, as well as the pth mean integrability of solutions to non-linear stochastic functional differential equations and, especially, to stochastic differential equations with time-varying lags. Some examples are given to illustrate the theoretical considerations.     

Backward stochastic partial differential equations with jumps and application to optimal control of random jump fields

We prove an existence and uniqueness result for a general class of backward stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) with jumps. This is a type of equations, which appear as adjoint equations in the maximum principle approach to optimal control of systems described by SPDE driven by Lévy processes.     

On linear, degenerate backward stochastic partial differential equations

In this paper we study the well-posedness and regularity of the adapted solutions to a class of linear, degenerate backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDE, for short). We establish new a priori estimates for the adapted solutions to BSPDEs in a general setting, based on which the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of adapted solutions are obtained. Also, we prove some comparison theorems and discuss their possible applications in mathematical finance. Received: 24 September 1997 / Revised version: 3 June 1998     

Almost sure and moment exponential stability of Euler–Maruyama discretizations for hybrid stochastic differential equations

Positive results are derived concerning the long time dynamics of numerical simulations of stochastic differential equation systems with Markovian switching. Euler–Maruyama discretizations are shown to capture almost sure and moment exponential stability for all sufficiently small timesteps under appropriate conditions.     

Solutions of affine stochastic functional differential equations in the state space

We consider solutions of affine stochastic functional differential equations on . The drift of these equations is specified by a functional defined on a general function space which is only described axiomatically. The solutions are reformulated as stochastic processes in the space . By representing such a process in the bidual space of we establish that the transition functions of this process form a generalized Gaussian Mehler semigroup on . This way the process is characterized completely on since it is Markovian. Moreover we derive a sufficient and necessary condition on the underlying space such that the transition functions are even an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup. We exploit this result to associate a Cauchy problem in the function space to the stochastic functional differential equation.
