Practical exponential stability of hybrid impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses

Abstract

SummaryThis paper is concerned with the problem of practical exponential stability for hybrid impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses, which comprise three classes of systems: the systems with unstable continuous stochastic dynamics and stable discrete dynamics, the systems with stable continuous stochastic dynamics and unstable discrete dynamics, and the systems where both the continuous stochastic dynamics and the discrete dynamics are stable. By using the Lyapunov‐Razumikhin approach, several new sufficient conditions for the practical exponential stability are established for each class of systems. It shows that the stabilizing and destabilizing delayed impulses that satisfy some conditions on their frequency and amplitude can stabilize the systems with unstable continuous stochastic dynamics in the practical exponential stability sense and ensure the practical exponential stability of the systems with stable continuous stochastic dynamics, respectively. Conversely, if the continuous stochastic dynamics are practically exponentially stable and the delayed impulses are stabilizing, then the systems can be practically exponentially stable regardless of the restrictions on the delayed impulses frequency and amplitude. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the results.
