Razumikhin stability theorems for a general class of stochastic impulsive switched time‐delay systems

Abstract

SummaryThis paper studies stability of a general class of impulsive switched systems under time delays and random disturbances using multiple Lyapunov functions and fixed dwell‐time. In the studied system model, the impulses and switches are allowed to occur asynchronously. As a result, the switching may occur in the impulsive intervals and the impulses can occur in the switching intervals, which have great effects on system stability. Since the switches do not bring about the change of the system state, we study two cases in terms of the impulses, ie, the stable continuous dynamics case and the stable impulsive dynamics case. According to multiple Lyapunov‐Razumikhin functions and the fixed dwell‐time, Razumikhin‐type stability conditions are established. Finally, the obtained results are illustrated via a numerical example from the synchronization problem of chaotic systems.
