On the stochastic stability and boundedness of solutions for stochastic delay differential equation of the second order (Q268142): Difference between revisions

Summary: We present two qualitative results concerning the solutions of the following equation: \(\ddot{x}(t) + g(\dot{x}(t)) + b x(t - h) + \sigma x(t) \dot{\omega}(t) = p(t, x(t), \dot{x}(t), x(t - h))\); the first result covers the stochastic asymptotic stability of the zero solution for the above equation in the case \(p \equiv 0\), while the second one discusses the uniform stochastic boundedness of all solutions in the case \(p \not\equiv 0\). Sufficient conditions for the stability and boundedness of solutions for the considered equation are obtained by constructing a Lyapunov functional. Two examples are also discussed to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.
