Stability analysis of impulsive functional systems of fractional order

In this paper, a class of impulsive fractional functional differential systems is investigated. Sufficient conditions for stability of the zero solution are proved, extending the corresponding theory of impulsive functional differential equations. The investigations are carried out by using the comparison principle, coupled with the Lyapunov function method. We apply our results to an impulsive single species model of Lotka–Volterra type.     

Vector Lyapunov functions for practical stability of nonlinear impulsive functional differential equations

The obtained results are based on the method of vector Lyapunov functions and on differential inequalities for piecewise continuous functions. Examples are given to illustrate our results.     

Ultimate boundedness of impulsive fractional delay differential equations

This paper concerns with the ultimate boundedness problem for impulsive fractional delay differential equations. Based on the impulsive fractional differential inequality, the boundedness of Mittag-Leffler functions, and the successful construction of suitable Lyapunov functionals, some algebraic criteria are derived for testing the global ultimate boundedness of the equations, and the estimations of the global attractive sets are provided as well. One example is also given to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.

On the stability of impulsive functional differential equations with infinite delays

In this paper, the stability problem of impulsive functional differential equations with infinite delays is considered. By using Lyapunov functions and the Razumikhin technique, some new theorems on the uniform stability and uniform asymptotic stability are obtained. The obtained results are milder and more general than several recent works. Two examples are given to demonstrate the advantages of the results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On variational methods to non-instantaneous impulsive fractional differential equation

In this paper by using the variational methods for a class of impulsive differential equation of fractional order with non-instantaneous impulses, we setup sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. The problem is reduced to an equivalent form such that the weak solutions of the problem are defined as the critical points of a functional. Main results of the present work are established by using Lax–Milgram Theorem.     

Comments on the concept of existence of solution for impulsive fractional differential equations

In some recent works dealing with the existence of solutions for impulsive fractional differential equations, it is pointed out that the concept of solutions for such equations in some preceding papers is incorrect. In support of this claim, the authors of these papers begin with a counterexample. The objective of this note to indicate the mistake in these counterexamples and show the plausibility of the previous results.     

Further analysis on uniform stability of impulsive infinite delay differential equations

A criterion for the uniform stability of impulsive functional differential equations with infinite delays is presented by using Lyapunov functions and the Razumikhin technique.

On the global exponential stability of impulsive functional differential equations with infinite delays or finite delays

This paper considers the impulsive functional differential equations with infinite delays or finite delays. Some new sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the global exponential stability by employing the improved Razumikhin technique and Lyapunov functions. The result extends and improves some recent works. Moreover, the obtained Razumikhin condition is very simple and effective to implement in real problems and it is helpful to investigate the stability of delayed neural networks and synchronization problems of chaotic systems under impulsive perturbation. Finally, a numerical example and its simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained result in this paper.     

Stability of impulsive functional differential equations

In this paper the stability of impulsive functional differential equations in which the state variables on the impulses are related to the time delay is studied. By using Lyapunov functions and Razumikhin techniques, some criteria of stability, asymptotic stability and practical stability for impulsive functional differential equations in which the state variables on the impulses are related to the time delay are provided. Some examples are also presented to illustrate the efficiency of the results obtained.     

Strict stability of impulsive functional differential equations

Strict stability is the kind of stability that can give us some information about the rate of decay of the solutions. There are some results about strict stability of differential equations. In the present paper, we shall extend the strict stability to impulsive functional differential equations. By using Lyapunov functions and Razumikhin technique, we shall get some criteria for the strict stability of impulsive functional differential equations, and we can see that impulses do contribute to the system's strict stability behavior.     

Exponential stability of impulsive stochastic functional differential equations

In this paper, we investigate the pth moment and almost sure exponential stability of impulsive stochastic functional differential equations with finite delay by using Lyapunov method. Several stability theorems of impulsive stochastic functional differential equations with finite delay are derived. These new results are employed to impulsive stochastic equations with bounded time-varying delays and stochastically perturbed equations. Meanwhile, an example and simulations are given to show that impulses play an important role in pth moment and almost sure exponential stability of stochastic functional differential equations with finite delay.     

Exponential stability analysis of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses

This paper is concerned with the exponential stability analysis of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses. Although the stability of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems have received considerable attention. However, relatively few works are concerned with the stability of systems with delayed impulses and our aim here is mainly to close the gap. Based on the Lyapunov functions and Razumikhin techniques, some exponential stability criteria are derived, which show that the system will stable if the impulses’ frequency and amplitude are suitably related to the increase or decrease of the continuous flows. The obtained results improve and complement ones from some recent works. Three examples are discussed to illustrate the effectiveness and the advantages of the results obtained.
