In this section, we present and prove our main results. We consider the set .
Theorem 3.1 Assume that (i)-(v) hold. Then, for any sufficiently small and for any , given , there exists a unique stochastic process satisfying (2). Moreover, the following properties hold:
-
1.
There exists
such that
(3)
-
2.
is pth moment locally exponentially stable, that is, there exists such that
(4)
for any and ;
-
3.
There exists
such that
(5)
for any and .
Proof By (iv), it follows that there exists such that (3) holds. We consider the space χ of all ℱ-adapted processes such that
-
1.
for any ;
-
2.
the norm satisfies .
We can easily see that χ is a complete metric space. Define an operator by
(6)
for any . We first verify the continuity of in χ. Let , , and be sufficiently small, then
(7)
Obviously,
(8)
as . By Lemma 2.1, we have
(9)
as , where . Thus
(10)
as , which implies that is continuous in χ on . For each and , by the Hölder inequality,
(11)
where ∗ represents the transpose, and the Lyapunov inequality
(12)
and (ii), we have
(13)
By (iii), we obtain
(14)
Then, by (13), (14) and Lemma 2.1, we have
(15)
Therefore
where . Taking δ sufficiently small so that , the operator becomes a contraction. In addition, we can obtain
(16)
This shows that . Thus, there exists a unique function such that . By the above inequality, we have , which means that (4) holds. Writing , we have
(17)
for any . Thus
(18)
It follows that
(19)
Using the Lyapunov inequality
(20)
from (ii), (iii) and (4), we get
(21)
and
(22)
Thus
(23)
where . Therefore
(24)
which yields (5). This completes the proof of the theorem. □
Remark 3.1 From the proof of Theorem 3.1, if we take δ sufficiently small so that , the mild solutions (1) with δ-domain initial value are p moment locally exponentially stable. In this case, the property of p moment stability is local.
Theorem 3.2 Assume that (i)-(v) hold. Then, for any sufficiently small, mild solution of (1) is almost surely exponentially stable, that is, there exists such that
(25)
for any and . Furthermore,
(26)
for any , and .
Proof For any fixed positive real number (),
(27)
By (i) and (4), we have
(28)
It follows from (ii) and (4) that
(29)
This implies that
(30)
From (iii) and (4), we have the following estimation:
(31)
and
(32)
Substituting (28), (30) and (32) into (27), we have
(33)
where . As is an arbitrarily given real number, let such that
(34)
Consequently, from the Borel-Cantelli lemma, there exists such that for any ,
(35)
It remains to verify that (26) holds. The argument is similar to the above proof of (27). For any (),
(36)
From (i) and (5), we obtain
(37)
By (4), (5) and (ii), applying inequalities (12) and (13), we get
(38)
This implies that
(39)
It follows from (4), (5) and (iii) that
(40)
So
(41)
Substituting (37), (39) and (41) into (36), we have
(42)
where . We can proceed to the remaining proof in a similar manner. □
