This paper discusses the problem of exponential stability for Markovian neutral stochastic systems with general transition probabilities and time-varying delay. Based on non-convolution type multiple Lyapunov functions and stochastic analysis method, we obtain the conditions which are independent to any decay rate of the exponential stability for uncertain transition probabilities neutral stochastic systems with time-varying delay. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and potential of the proposed results.

This paper investigates the stability analysis with respect to part of the variables of nonlinear time-varying systems with impulse effect. The approach presented is based on the specially introduced piecewise continuous Lyapunov functions. The Lyapunov stability theorems with respect to part of the variables are generalized in the sense that the time derivatives of the Lyapunov functions are allowed to be indefinite. With the help of the notion of stable functions, asymptotic partial stability, exponential partial stability, input-to-state partial stability (ISPS) and integral input-to-state partial stability (iISPS) are considered. Three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.

If a Lyapunov function is known, a dynamic system can be stabilized. However, the search for a Lyapunov function is often challenging. This paper takes a new approach to avoid such a search; it assumes a basic Control Lyapunov Function [CLF] then seeks to numerically diminish the value of the Lyapunov function. If a singularity arises during calculations with the default CLF, a complementary function is used. The complementary function eliminates a common cause of singularities with the default CLF. While many other algorithms from the literature use switched or time-varying CLF’s, the presented method is unique in that the CLF’s do not require prior calculation and the technique applies globally. The method is proven and demonstrated for SISO systems in normal form and then demonstrated on a higher-order system of a more general type.
