Stability of stochastic systems with probabilistic mode switchings and state jumps

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the stability of continuous-time stochastic systems with probabilistic mode switchings and state jumps. Occurrences of mode transitions and state jumps are modeled with independent Poisson processes. We use multiple Lyapunov functions to derive sufficient conditions for stability in probability and moment exponential stability both for linear and nonlinear stochastic switching systems. Furthermore, we provide numerical examples to demonstrate the efficacy of our results.
