  • The problem of asymptotic p-stability for a linear differential equation with delay and stochastic perturbations, described by a set of mutually independent standard Wiener processes and the Poisson measure, is considered. It is shown the solution of this stability problem for some particular cases of the considered stochastic delay differential equation. However, for the general case of the considered equation, the proposed problem remains open and is presented to the attention of potential readers.



    The problem of asymptotic p-stability or Lp-boundedness in the theory of stochastic systems is studied in a lot of different works (see, e.g., [1,2,3,6,7,14,15,16,17,18,19]). However, it cannot be said that this problem has been studied sufficiently thoroughly. Here some new results are considered, obtained in this direction, as well as one unsolved problem about the rate of fading on the infinity of stochastic perturbations, at which the stability of the zero solution of the equation under consideration is saved. This unsolved problem complements the series of recently published unsolved problems in stability and optimal control theory of stochastic systems (see, e.g., [8,9,10,11] and references therein).

    Let {Ω,F,P} be a complete probability space, {Ft}t0 be a nondecreasing family of sub-σ-algebras of F, i.e., FsFt for s<t, P{} be the probability of an event enclosed in the braces, E be the mathematical expectation, H2 be the space of F0-adapted stochastic processes φ(s), s0, φ0=sups0|φ(s)|, φp1=sups0E|φ(s)|p, p>0.

    Following Gikhman and Skorokhod [4], let us consider the linear stochastic differential equation with delay

    dx(t)=(Ax(t)+Bx(th))dt+mi=1Ci(t)x(t)dwi(t)+G(t,u)x(t)˜ν(dt,du),t0,x(s)=ϕ(s)H2,s[h,0], (1.1)

    where x(t)Rn, A,B,Ci(t), and G(t,u) are n×n-matrices, h>0, w1(t),...,wm are mutually independent standard Wiener processes, ˜ν(t,A)=ν(t,A)tΠ(A), ν(t,A) is the Poisson measure with Eν(t,A)=tΠ(A) [4].

    Consider a functional V(t,φ):[0,)×H2R+ that can be represented in the form V(t,φ)=V(t,φ(0),φ(s)), s<0, and for φ=xt put [12]

    Vφ(t,x)=V(t,φ)=V(t,xt)=V(t,x,x(t+s)),x=φ(0)=x(t),s<0. (1.2)

    Note that here and everywhere below x(t) denotes a value of the solution of the Eq (1.1) in the time moment t, xt denotes a trajectory of the solution x(s) of the Eq (1.1) for st.

    Let D be the set of the functionals for which the function Vφ(t,x) defined by (1.2) has a continuous derivative with respect to t and two continuous derivatives with respect to x. The generator L of the Eq (1.1) is defined on the functionals from D and has the form [4,12]

    LV(t,xt)=tVφ(t,x(t))+Vφ(t,x(t))(Ax(t)+Bx(th))+12mi=1x(t)Ci(t)2Vφ(t,x(t))Ci(t)x(t)+[Vφ(t,x(t)+G(t,u)x(t))Vφ(t,x(t))Vφ(t,x(t))G(t,u)x(t)]Π(du). (1.3)

    Definition 1.1. [12] The zero solution of the Eq (1.1) is called:

    - p-stable, p>0, if for each ε>0 there exists a δ>0 such that E|x(t,ϕ)|p<ε, t0, provided that ϕp1<δ;

    - asymptotically p-stable if it is p-stable and limtE|x(t,ϕ)|p =0 for each initial function ϕ;

    - stable in probability if for any ε1>0 and ε2>0 there exists δ>0, such that the solution x(t,ϕ) of the Eq (1.1) satisfies the condition P{supt0|x(t,ϕ)|>ε1/F0}<ε2 for any initial function ϕ such that P{ϕ0<δ}=1.

    Theorem 1.1. [12] Let there exist a functional V(t,φ)D, positive numbers c1,c2,c3 and p2, such that the following conditions hold:

    EV(t,xt)c1E|x(t)|p,EV(0,ϕ)c2ϕp,ELV(t,xt)c3E|x(t)|p,t0. (1.4)

    Then the zero solution of the Eq (1.1) is asymptotically p-stable.

    Theorem 1.2. [12] Let there exist a functional V(t,φ)D, positive numbers c1,c2,p, such that the following conditions hold:

    (t,xt)c1|x(t)|p,V(0,ϕ)c2ϕp0,LV(t,xt)0,t0. (1.5)

    Then the zero solution of the Eq (1.1) is stable in probability.

    Below conditions of asymptotic p-stability for some particular cases of the Eq (1.1) are presented in the hope that the currently unsolved problem of obtaining the best conditions on the rate of fading stochastic perturbations for asymptotic p-stability of the zero solution of the Eq (1.1) in the general case will attract the attention of potential readers.

    Theorem 2.1. Let there exist positive definite n×n-matrices P, R, and the function ρ(t), such that the following inequalities hold:

    mi=1Ci(t)PCi(t)+G(t,u)PG(t,u)Π(du)ρ(t)P,Φ=[AP+PA+RPBBPR]<0,0ρ(t)dt<. (2.1)

    Then the zero solution of the Eq (1.1) is asymptotically mean square stable.

    The proof of Theorem 2.1 is presented in [11] (in the case m=1), where via the general method of Lyapunov functional construction [5,12,13] it is shown that the Lyapunov functional V(t,xt)=V1(t,x(t))+V2(t,xt) with

    V1(t,x(t))=γ(t)x(t)Px(t),V2(t,xt)=tthγ(s+h)x(s)Rx(s)ds,γ(t)=et0ρ(s)ds, (2.2)

    satisfies the conditions of Theorem 1.1 with p=2.

    Theorem 2.2. Let there exists a positive definite n×n-matrix P and the function ρ(t) such that the following inequalities hold:

    PA+AP<0,mi=1Ci(t)PCi(t)ρ(t)P,0ρ(s)ds<. (2.3)

    Then the zero solution of the Eq (1.1) is asymptotically p-stable for p2.

    Proof. Via (1.3) for the function

    V(t,x)=γ(t)(xPx)p/2,γ(t)=eqt0ρ(s)ds,q=12p(p1), (2.4)

    we have

    LV(t,x(t))=γ(t)[qρ(t)(x(t)Px(t))p/2+p2(x(t)Px(t))p/212x(t)PAx(t)+p2(p2)(x(t)Px(t))p/22mi=1(x(t)PCi(t)x(t))2+p2(x(t)Px(t))p/21mi=1x(t)Ci(t)PCi(t)x(t)].

    Via the inequality (ab)2(aa)(bb) with a=P0.5x(t), b=P0.5Ci(t)x(t), we obtain

    (x(t)PCi(t)x(t))2(x(t)Px(t))(x(t)Ci(t)PCi(t)x(t)).

    From here (2.4), (2.3), and 2x(t)PAx(t)=x(t)(PA+AP)x(t), it follows that

    LV(t,x(t))γ(t)(x(t)Px(t))p/21[qρ(t)(x(t)Px(t))+p2x(t)(PA+AP)x(t)+qmi=1(x(t)Ci(t)PCi(t)x(t))]p2γ(t)(x(t)Px(t))p/21x(t)(PA+AP)x(t)p2γ()(x(t)Px(t))p/21x(t)(PA+AP)x(t)p2γ()λmin|x(t)|p2x(t)(PA+AP)x(t)c|x(t)|p, (2.5)

    where λmin>0 is a minimal eigenvalue of the matrix P and c>0.

    Via Theorem 1.1, it means that the zero solution of the Eq (1.1) in the case B=0, G(t,u)=0, is asymptotically p-stable. The proof is completed.

    Consider the Eq (1.1) in the scalar case:

    A=a<0,B=b,Ci(t)=ci(t),G(t,u)=g(t,u). (2.6)

    Lemma 2.1. [13] Arbitrary positive numbers a,b,α,β,γ satisfy the inequality

    aαbβαα+βaα+βγβ+βα+βbα+βγα. (2.7)

    Equality is reached for γ=ba1.

    Theorem 2.3. If a>|b| and the function

    ρ(t)=mi=1p(2p1)c2i(t)+[(1+g(t,u))2p12pg(t,u)]Π(du),p1, (2.8)

    satisfies the condition 0ρ(t)dt< then the zero solution of the Eq (1.1), (2.6) is asymptotically 2p-stable.

    Proof. Via the generator (1.3) for the function V1(t,x)=γ(t)x2p, where γ(t)=et0ρ(s)ds and ρ(t) is defined in (2.8), we have

    LV1(t,x(t))=γ(t)[ρ(t)x2p(t)+2px2p1(t)(ax(t)+bx(th))+mi=1p(2p1)c2i(t)x2p(t)+[(1+g(t,u))2p12pg(t,u)]Π(du)x2p(t)]=γ(t)[2pbx2p1(t)x(th)+(2paρ(t)+mi=1p(2p1)c2i(t)+[(1+g(t,u))2p12pg(t,u)]Π(du))x2p(t)]=γ(t)[2pbx2p1(t)x(th)2pax2p(t)].

    Using (2.7), we obtain

    2p|bx2p1(t)x(th)||b|[(2p1)x2p(t)+x2p(th)].

    So,

    LV1(t,x(t))γ(t)[|b|[(2p1)x2p(t)+x2p(th)]2pax2p(t)]=γ(t)[[2p(|b|a)|b|]x2p(t)+|b|x2p(th)].

    Using that γ(t+h)γ(t) and the additional functional V2(t,xt)=|b|tthγ(s+h)x2p(s)ds with

    LV2(t,xt)=|b|[γ(t+h)x2p(t)γ(t)x2p(th)]γ(t)[|b|x2p(t)|b|x2p(th)],

    for the functional V(t,xt)=V1(t,x(t))+V2(t,xt), we obtain

    LV(t,xt)γ(t)2p(a|b|)x2p(t)cx2p(t),c=2p(a|b|)γ()>0. (2.9)

    Via Theorem 1.1, it means that the zero solution of the Eq (1.1), (2.6) is asymptotically 2p-stable. The proof is completed.

    Remark 2.1. Note that in the case of asymptotic mean square stability (p=1), the function (2.8) takes the form

    ρ(t)=mi=1c2i(t)+g2(t,u)Π(du).

    Remark 2.2. Via Theorem 1.2, from the conditions (2.5) and (2.9), it follows that by the condition γ()=0, i.e., 0ρ(t)dt=, the zero solution of the Eq (1.1) is stable in probability, that is weaker than asymptotic p-stability.

    Remark 2.3. (About an unsolved problem) Note that the condition 0ρ(t)dt< means that the stochastic perturbations in the Eq (1.1) fade on the infinity quickly enough. This condition is essentially used in the proofs of Theorems 2.1–2.3. By that, the following question appears: can this condition be relaxed? Above it is shown that under the weaker condition 0ρ(t)dt= it is possible to prove only weaker stability in probability. Is it possible under this weaker condition to prove asymptotic p-moment stability—this problem remains unsolved until now. It is clear that this problem requires a proof that is fundamentally different from the proofs of Theorems 2.1–2.3 and is currently an unsolved problem. An interesting result might seem to be the statement that under the condition 0ρ(t)dt= asymptotic p-stability is impossible. But a simple example shows that this is not so. Really, it is well known that the zero solution of the equation dx(t)=ax(t)dt+σx(t)dw(t) is asymptotically mean square stable if and only if 2a>σ2 [12], but for this equation ρ(t)=σ2 and therefore 0ρ(t)dt=.

    To readers attention an unsolved problem about the acceptable fade rate of stochastic perturbations of the type of white noise and Poisson's jumps for asymptotic p-stability of the solution of a stochastic linear delay differential equation is proposed. It is shown that for some particular cases of the considered equation, the proposed problem can be solved using the general method of Lyapunov functionals construction. Whether to use the method of Lyapunov functionals construction or to find a new way to solve the given unsolved problem is the choice of the potential readers.
