Sufficient Conditions for Polynomial Asymptotic Behaviour of the Stochastic Pantograph Equation
This paper studies the asymptotic growth and decay properties of solutions of
the stochastic pantograph equation with multiplicative noise. We give
sufficient conditions on the parameters for solutions to grow at a polynomial
rate in -th mean and in the almost sure sense. Under stronger conditions the
solutions decay to zero with a polynomial rate in -th mean and in the almost
sure sense. When polynomial bounds cannot be achieved, we show for a different
set of parameters that exponential growth bounds of solutions in -th mean
and an almost sure sense can be obtained. Analogous results are established for
pantograph equations with several delays, and for general finite dimensional
equations.Comment: 29 pages, to appear Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of

Invariant Measures for Dissipative Dynamical Systems: Abstract Results and Applications
In this work we study certain invariant measures that can be associated to
the time averaged observation of a broad class of dissipative semigroups via
the notion of a generalized Banach limit. Consider an arbitrary complete
separable metric space which is acted on by any continuous semigroup
. Suppose that possesses a global
attractor . We show that, for any generalized Banach limit
and any distribution of initial
conditions , that there exists an invariant probability measure
, whose support is contained in , such that for all
observables living in a suitable function space of continuous mappings
on .
This work is based on a functional analytic framework simplifying and
generalizing previous works in this direction. In particular our results rely
on the novel use of a general but elementary topological observation, valid in
any metric space, which concerns the growth of continuous functions in the
neighborhood of compact sets. In the case when does not
possess a compact absorbing set, this lemma allows us to sidestep the use of
weak compactness arguments which require the imposition of cumbersome weak
continuity conditions and limits the phase space to the case of a reflexive
Banach space. Two examples of concrete dynamical systems where the semigroup is
known to be non-compact are examined in detail.Comment: To appear in Communications in Mathematical Physic
Analysis on exponential stability of hybrid pantograph stochastic differential equations with highly nonlinear coefficients
This paper discusses exponential stability of solutions for highly nonlinear hybrid pantograph stochastic differential equations (PSDEs). Two criteria are proposed to guarantee exponential stability of the solution. The first criterion is a Khasminskii-type condition involving general Lyapunov functions. The second is developed on coefficients of the equation in virtue of M-matrix techniques. Based on the second criterion, robust stability of a perturbed hybrid PSDE is also investigated. The theory shows how much an exponentially stable hybrid PSDE can tolerate to remain stable
Stochastic ordinary differential equations in applied and computational mathematics
Using concrete examples, we discuss the current and potential use of stochastic ordinary differential equations (SDEs) from the perspective of applied and computational mathematics. Assuming only a minimal background knowledge in probability and stochastic processes, we focus on aspects that distinguish SDEs from their deterministic counterparts. To illustrate a multiscale modelling framework, we explain how SDEs arise naturally as diffusion limits in the type of discrete-valued stochastic models used in chemical kinetics, population dynamics, and, most topically, systems biology. We outline some key issues in existence, uniqueness and stability that arise when SDEs are used as physical models, and point out possible pitfalls. We also discuss the use of numerical methods to simulate trajectories of an SDE and explain how both weak and strong convergence properties are relevant for highly-efficient multilevel Monte Carlo simulations. We flag up what we believe to be key topics for future research, focussing especially on nonlinear models, parameter estimation, model comparison and multiscale simulation
Stabilization via delay feedback for highly nonlinear stochastic time-varying delay systems with Markovian switching and Poisson jump
Little work seems to be known about stabilization results of highly nonlinear stochastic time-varying delay systems (STVDSs) with Markovian switching and Poisson jump. This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem for a class of STVDSs with Markovian switching and Poisson jump. The coefficients of such systems do not satisfy the conventional linear growth conditions, but are subject to high nonlinearity. The aim of this paper is to design a delay feedback controller to make an unstable highly nonlinear STVDSs with Markovian switching and Poisson jump Hā-stable and asymptotically stable. Besides, an illustrative example is provided to support the theoretical results
Almost sure stability with general decay rate of neutral stochastic pantograph equations with Markovian switching
This paper focuses on the general decay stability of nonlinear neutral stochastic pantograph equations with Markovian switching (NSPEwMSs). Under the local Lipschitz condition and non-linear growth condition, the existence and almost sure stability with general decay of the solution for NSPEwMSs are investigated. By means of M-matrix theory, some sufficient conditions on the general decay stability are also established for NSPEwMSs
On the almost sure running maxima of solutions of affine stochastic functional differential equations
This paper studies the large fluctuations of solutions of scalar and finite-dimensional affine stochastic functional differential equations with finite memory as well as related nonlinear equations. We find conditions under which the exact almost sure growth rate of the running maximum of each component of the system can be determined, both for affine and nonlinear equations. The proofs exploit the fact that an exponentially decaying fundamental solution of the underlying deterministic equation is sufficient to ensure that the solution of the affine equation converges to a stationary Gaussian process
