Stability of Highly Nonlinear Stochastic Delay Systems with Hybrid Switchings

Abstract

Numerous studies have investigated the stability of highly nonlinear stochastic systems (HNSSs). However, previous works have primarily focused on either deterministic or random switchings. In this paper, we examine HNSSs with delays and two switching modes. First, we introduce a hybrid switching rule and construct a stopping time in segments, dividing the switching interval of the entire system into a deterministic switching interval and a stochastic switching interval. Second, we establish the existence and boundedness of the global solution of the system by using the Lyapunov function and the average dwell time method. Additionally, we prove the asymptotic stability and exponential stability of the system without relying on the linear growth condition (LGC). Finally, we provide an illustrative example to demonstrate the validity of the obtained results.
