This study analyzes the stability of random systems using Lyapunov functions. It establishes criteria for various stability types and applies them to HIV/AIDS dynamics and financial models.
Area of Science:
- Stochastic Analysis
- Dynamical Systems Theory
- Mathematical Biology
- Financial Mathematics
Background:
- Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are crucial for modeling systems with inherent randomness.
- Understanding the stability of equilibrium points in these systems is vital for predicting long-term behavior.
- Existing methods often struggle with systems exhibiting random coefficients and external noise like Brownian motion.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive stability theory for stochastic models with random variable coefficients.
- To establish criteria for asymptotic mean-square stability, stability in probability, and stochastic global exponential stability.
- To apply these stability concepts to real-world problems in epidemiology and finance.
Main Methods:
- Construction of generalized Lyapunov functions tailored for stochastic systems.
- Derivation of necessary and sufficient conditions for different types of stability.
- Analysis of specific models including HIV/AIDS persistence and financial market dynamics.
- Numerical simulations and stability region analysis to validate theoretical results.
Main Results:
- Identified distinct stability conditions based on Lyapunov function properties.
- Established criteria for asymptotic mean-square stability, stability in probability, and stochastic global exponential stability.
- Demonstrated the application to HIV/AIDS models, confirming stochastic global exponential stability for the endemic equilibrium when the basic reproductive number exceeds one.
- Derived sufficient conditions for stability in stochastic market and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models.
Conclusions:
- The developed stability theory provides a robust framework for analyzing complex stochastic systems.
- The findings offer critical insights into disease persistence dynamics and financial market stability.

Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
