Based on the Lyapunov-Razumikhin methods, some sufficient conditions are derived to check the stability of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with Markovian switching. One numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results.

1. Introduction

Impulsive stochastic systems with Markovian switching is a class of hybrid dynamical systems, which is composed of both the logical switching rule of continuous-time finite-state Markovian process and the state represented by a stochastic differential system [1] . Because of the presence of both continuous dynamics and discrete events, these types of models are capable of describing many practical systems in many areas, including social science, physical science, finance, control engineering, mechanical and industry. So this kind of systems have received much attention, recently (for instance, see [2] - [5] ).

It is well-known that stability is the major issue in the study of control theory, one of the most important techniques applied in the investigation of stability for various classes of stochastic differential systems is based on a stochastic version of the Lyapunov direct method. However, the so-called Razumikhin technique combined with Lyapunov functions has also been a powerful and effective method in the study of stability. Recalled that Razumikhin developed this technique to study the stability of deterministic systems with delay in [6] [7] , then, Mao extended this technique to stochastic functional differential systems [8] . This technique has become very popular in recent years since it is extensively applied to investigate many phenomena in physics, biology, finance, etc.

Mao incorporated the Razumikhin approach in stochastic functional differential equations [9] and in neutral stochastic functional differential equations [10] to investigate both p-th moment and almost sure exponential stability of these systems (see also [11] - [13] , for instance). Later, this technique was appropriately developed and extended to some other stochastic functional differential systems, especially important in applications, such as stochastic functional differential systems with infinite delay [14] - [16] , hybrid stochastic delay interval systems [17] and impulsive stochastic delay differential systems [18] - [20] . Recently, some researchers have introduced y-type function and extended the stability results to the general decay stability, including the exponential stability as a special case in [21] - [23] , which has a wide applicability.

In the above cited papers, both the p-th moment and almost sure stability on a general decay are investigated, but mostly used in stochastic differential equations. And As far as I know, a little work has been done on the impulsive stochastic differential equations or systems. In this paper, we will close this gap by extending the general decay stability to the impulsive stochastic differential systems. To the best of our knowledge, there are no results based on the general decay stability of impulsive stochastic delay differential systems with Markovian switching. And the main aim of the present paper is attempt to investigate the p-th moment and almost sure stability on a general decay of impulsive stochastic delay differential systems with Markovian switching. Since the delay phenomenon and the Markovian switching exists among impulsive stochastic systems, the whole systems become more complex and may oscillate or be not stable, we introduce Razumikhin-type theorems and Lyapunov methods to give the conditions that make the systems stable. By the aid of Lyapunov-Razumikhin approach, we obtain the p-th moment general decay stability of impulsive stochastic delay differential systems with Markovian. In order to establish the criterion on almost surely general decay stability of impulsive stochastic delay differential systems with Markovian, the Holder inequality, Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequality and Borel- Cantelli’s lemma are utilized in this paper.

The paper is organized as follows. Firstly, the problem formulations, definitions of general dacay stability and some lemmas are given in Section 2. In Section 3, the main results on p-th moment and almost sure stability on a general decay of impulsive stochastic delay differential systems with Markovian switching are obtained with Lyapunov-Razumikhin methods. An example is presented to illustrate the main results in Section 4. In the last section the conclusions are given.

In other words, there exist a sequence of stopping times almost surely such that is a constant in every interval for any, i.e.

3. Main Results

In this section, we shall establish some criteria on the p-th moment exponential stability and almost exponential stability for system (1) by using the Razumikhin technique and Lyapunov functions.

Then, for any initial, there exists a solution on to system (1). Moreover, the system (1) is p-th moment exponentially stable with decay of order.

Proof. Fix the initial data arbitrarily and write simply. When is replaced by, if we can prove that the system (1) is p-th moment exponentially stable with decay of order for all, then the desired result is obtained. Choose satisfying , and thus we can have the following fact:

Then it follows from condition (H1) that

In the following, we will use the mathematical induction method to show that

(13)

Consequently, for all, we have

And so

By condition (H2) we have

Consequently,

(14)

Applying the formula to yields

(15)

By condition (14), we obtain

(16)

On the other hand, a direct computation yields

that is

which is a contradiction. So inequality (9) holds and (8) is true for. Now we assume that (8) is satisfied for, i.e. for every,

(17)

Then, we will prove that (8) holds for,

(18)

Suppose (18) is not true, i.e. there exist some such that

(19)

Then, it follows from the condition (H3) and (17) that

which implies that the dose not satisfy the inequality (19). And from this, set

. By the continuity of in the

interval, we know that and

(20)

(21)

Define, then and

(22)

(23)

Fix any, when for all, then (20)-(22) imply that

If for some, we assume that, without loss of generality, , for some, then from (17) and (20)-(22), we obtain

(24)

Therefore,

by condition (H2) we have

Consequently,

(25)

Similar to (15), applying the formula to yields

By condition (25), we obtain

On the other hand, by (20) and (22), we have

that is

which is a contradiction. So inequality (18) holds. Therefore, by mathematical induction, we obtain (8) holds for all. Then from condition (H1), we have

which implies

i.e., system (1) is pth moment exponentially stable with decay of order. The proof is complete.

Theorem 2 For system (1), suppose all of the conditions of Theorem 1 are satisfied. Let, assume that there exist constants, such that for all and,

(26)

Then, for any initial and for any, there exists a solution on to stochastic delay nonlinear system (1). Moreover, the system (1) is almost surely stable with decay of order and

(27)

Proof. Fix the initial data arbitrarily and write simply. We claim that

For each i when, , we obtain

By Theorem 1, we have

(31)

By Holder inequality, condition (26) and Theorem 1, we derives that

(32)

Similarly, by the Lemma 1 and (32), we obtain

(33)

where is a positive constant dependent on p only.

Substituting (31), (32) and (33) into (30) yields

(34)

Thus, it follows from (29) and (34), we obtain

Using Chebyshev inequality, we have

Since, by Lemma 2, when, , we obtain

That is

Thus, the system (1) is almost surely stable with decay of order.

4. Examples

In this section, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the main results established in Section 3 as follows. Consider an impulsive stochastic delay system with Markovian switching as follows
