Stability in distribution of stochastic functional differential equations

In this paper we investigate the stability in distribution for a class of stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs), which include stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs). Although stability in distribution has been studied by several authors recently, there is so far no stability-in-distribution criterion on SFDEs where the terms involved the delay components are highly nonlinear (not bounded by linear functions). In this paper we will establish the sufficient criteria on the stability in distribution for a class of highly nonlinear SFDEs. Two examples will be given to illustrate our new results. We also explain the reason why the existing stability-in-distribution criteria are not applicable by these two examples

Stabilisation in distribution by delay feedback control for stochastic differential equations with Markovian switching and Lévy noise

This paper is devoted to the stability in distribution of stochastic differential equations with Markovian switching and Lévy noise by delay feedback control. By constructing efficient Lyapunov functional and linear delay feedback controls, the stability in distribution of stochastic differential equations with Markovian switching and Lévy noise is accomplished with the coefficients satisfying globally Lipschitz continuous. Moreover, the design methods of feedback control under two structures of state feedback and output injection are discussed. Finally, a numerical experiment and new algorithm are provided to sustain the new results

Stability of stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensions

In engineering, physics and economics, many dynamical systems involving with stochastic components and random noise are often modeled by stochastic models. The stochastic effects of these models are often used to describe the uncertainty about the operating systems. Motivated by the development of analysis and theory of stochastic processes, as well as the studies of natural sciences, the theory of stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensional spaces evolves gradually into a branch of modern analysis. Many qualitative properties of such systems have been studied in the past few decades, among which, investigation of stability of such systems is often regarded as the first characteristic of the dynamical systems or models. In general, this thesis is mainly concerned with the studies of the stability property of stochastic differential equations in Hilbert spaces. Chapter 1 is an introduction to a brief history of stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensions, together with an overview of the studies. Chapter 2 is a presentation of preliminaries to some basic stochastic analysis. In Chapter 3, we study the stability in distribution of mild solutions to stochastic delay differential equations with Poisson jumps. Firstly, we use approximation of strong solutions to pass on the stability of strong solutions to the mild ones. Then, by constructing a suitable metric between the transition probability functions of mild solutions, we obtain the desired stability result under some suitable conditions. In Chapter 4, we investigate the stochastic partial delay differential equations with Markovian switching and Poisson jumps. By estimating the coefficients of energy equality, both the exponential stability and almost sure exponential stability of energy solutions to the equations are obtained. In Chapter 5, we study the relationship among strong, weak and mild solutions to the stochastic functional differential equations of neutral type. Finally, in Chapter 6, we study the asymptotic stability of two types of equations, impulsive stochastic delay differential equations with Poisson jumps and stochastic evolution equations with Poisson jumps. By employing the fixed point theorem, we derive the desired stability results under some criteria

Numerical solutions of neutral stochastic functional differential equations with Markovian switching

Abstract Until now, the theories about the convergence analysis, the almost surely and mean square exponential stability of the numerical solution for neutral stochastic functional differential equations with Markovian switching (NSFDEwMSs) have been well established, but there are very few research works concentrating on the stability in distribution of numerical solution. This paper will pay attention to the stability in distribution of numerical solution of NSFDEwMSs. The strong mean square convergence analysis is also discussed

STOCHASTIC DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH APPLICATIONS IN ECOLOGY AND EPIDEMICS

Mathematical modeling with delay differential equations (DDEs) is widely used for analysis and predictions in various areas of life sciences, such as population dynamics, epidemiology, immunology, physiology, and neural networks. The memory or time-delays, in these models, are related to the duration of certain hidden processes like the stages of the life cycle, the time between infection of a cell and the production of new viruses, the duration of the infectious period, the immune period, and so on. In ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the unknown state and its derivatives are evaluated at the same time instant. In DDEs, however, the evolution of the system at a certain time instant depends on the past history/memory. Introduction of such time-delays in a differential model significantly improves the dynamics of the model and enriches the complexity of the system. Moreover, natural phenomena counter an environmental noise and usually do not follow deterministic laws strictly but oscillate randomly about some average values, so that the population density never attains a fixed value with the advancement of time. Accordingly, stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) models play a prominent role in many application areas including biology, epidemiology and population dynamics, mostly because they can offer a more sophisticated insight through physical phenomena than their deterministic counterparts do. The SDDEs can be regarded as a generalization of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and DDEs.This dissertation, consists of eight Chapters, is concerned with qualitative and quantitative features of deterministic and stochastic delay differential equations with applications in ecology and epidemics. The local and global stabilities of the steady states and Hopf bifurcations with respect of interesting parameters of such models are investigated. The impact of incorporating time-delays and random noise in such class of differential equations for different types of predator-prey systems and infectious diseases is studied. Numerical simulations, using suitable and reliable numerical schemes, are provided to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.Chapter 1 provides a brief overview about the topic and shows significance of the study. Chapter 2, is devoted to investigate the qualitative behaviours (through local and global stability of the steady states) of DDEs with predator-prey systems in case of hunting cooperation on predators. Chapter 3 deals with the dynamics of DDEs, of multiple time-delays, of two-prey one-predator system, where the growth of both preys populations subject to Allee effects, with a direct competition between the two-prey species having a common predator. A Lyapunov functional is deducted to investigate the global stability of positive interior equilibrium. Chapter 4, studies the dynamics of stochastic DDEs for predator-prey system with hunting cooperation in predators. Existence and uniqueness of global positive solution and stochastically ultimate boundedness are investigated. Some sufficient conditions for persistence and extinction, using Lyapunov functional, are obtained. Chapter 5 is devoted to investigate Stochastic DDEs of three-species predator prey system with cooperation among prey species. Sufficient conditions of existence and uniqueness of an ergodic stationary distribution of the positive solution to the model are established, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Chapter 6 deals with stochastic epidemic SIRC model with time-delay for spread of COVID-19 among population. The basic reproduction number ℛs0 for the stochastic model which is smaller than ℛ0 of the corresponding deterministic model is deduced. Sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution, using the stochastic Lyapunov functional, and conditions for the extinction of the disease are obtained. In Chapter 7, some numerical schemes for SDDEs are discussed. Convergence and consistency of such schemes are investigated. Chapter 8 summaries the main finding and future directions of research. The main findings, theoretically and numerically, show that time-delays and random noise have a significant impact in the dynamics of ecological and biological systems. They also have an important role in ecological balance and environmental stability of living organisms. A small scale of white noise can promote the survival of population; While large noises can lead to extinction of the population, this would not happen in the deterministic systems without noises. Also, white noise plays an important part in controlling the spread of the disease; When the white noise is relatively large, the infectious diseases will become extinct; Re-infection and periodic outbreaks can also occur due to the time-delay in the transmission terms

On input-to-state stability of stochastic retarded systems with Markovian switching

This note develops a Razumikhin-type theorem on pth moment input-to-state stability of hybrid stochastic retarded systems (also known as stochastic retarded systems with Markovian switching), which is an improvement of an existing result. An application to hybrid stochastic delay systems verifies the effectiveness of the improved result

Moment Boundedness of Linear Stochastic Delay Differential Equation with Distributed Delay

This paper studies the moment boundedness of solutions of linear stochastic delay differential equations with distributed delay. For a linear stochastic delay differential equation, the first moment stability is known to be identical to that of the corresponding deterministic delay differential equation. However, boundedness of the second moment is complicated and depends on the stochastic terms. In this paper, the characteristic function of the equation is obtained through techniques of Laplace transform. From the characteristic equation, sufficient conditions for the second moment to be bounded or unbounded are proposed.Comment: 38 pages, 2 figure
