Abstract—This note studies the exponential stability of nonlinear stochastic systems with time delay. Firstly, a more general Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed, and based on Ito calculus rules for stochastic systems, a novel delay-dependent sufficient condition for exponential stability in mean square is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities, and it is proved in theory that the obtained stability condition is less conservative. Then, the proposed method is extended to nonlinear time-delay systems and retarded time-delay systems and the corresponding stability criteria are obtained. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate that the obtained results in this paper are less conservative than some existing ones. Index Terms—Stochastic systems, time delay, nonlinear uncertainties, exponential stability, linear matrix inequality (LMI)

I. INTRODUCTION Time delay and model uncertainty is commonly encountered in control systems. It has been shown that the existence of them often causes poor performance and even instability of systems. Therefore, robust stability of uncertain time-delay systems has attracted a great deal of attention over the years. In deterministic context, different methods, such as discretized Lyapunov functional[1], model transformation[2, 3], integral inequality[4, 5], free matrices[6, 7] and special Lyapunov Krasovskii functional[8, 9], have been developed to reduce the conservatism of the corresponding results and many delay-dependent stability criteria have been reported in the literature. When the environmental disturbances are taken into account, the systems under consideration become stochastic systems with time delay and uncertainties. Recently, considerable attention has been devoted to the study of stochastic systems due to the fact that stochastic modeling has played an important role in science and industry. Many fundamental results for

deterministic systems have been extended to stochastic systems. In the aspect of robust stability of stochastic systems, in [10], the robust exponential stability of stochastic differential delay equations were discussed based on Lyapunov’s direct method. In [11], in terms of linear matrix inequality, a less conservative robust stability condition was obtained for stochastic delay systems with nonlinear uncertainties. By using a descriptor model transformation of the system and by applying Moon’s inequality, exponential stability of uncertain stochastic systems with multiple delays was studied in [12], and a delay-dependent result was proposed. By introducing some relaxation matrices, the exponential stability of stochastic systems with timevarying delay, nonlinearity, and markovian switching was investigated in [13]. In [14], based on the generalized Finsler lemma, by using model transformations, crossterm bounding techniques or additional matrix variables is avoided, and thus a simple and less conservative criterion was obtained. Motivated by above discussion, this paper is concerned with the robust exponential stability in mean square for stochastic systems with time delay and nonlinear uncertainties. Firstly, based on Ito calculus rules, a more general Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed and a novel delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Secondly, a simplified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is considered and the corresponding stability condition is obtained, which illustrate the importance of the some LyapunovKrasovskii functional terms in reducing the conservatism of the stability result. Then the proposed method is used to deal with the stability of deterministic time-delay system. In the last, several examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in this paper. Notations: In this paper, C [− τ ,0]; ℜ n denotes the

Noting (8) and (14), we know that if the LMI (15) holds, the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (5) is positive definite. This completes the proof. From the prove of the proposition 1, we can see that the constraint on functional parameter Q2 is relaxed, which is helpful to reduce the conservatism of the main results. In the following, we give the main stability condition of system (1). Theorem 1. For any given τ > 0 , the stochastic system (1) is exponentially stable in the mean square.

This completes the proof. Remark 1. LV (x(t ), t ) is calculated based on Ito calculus rules and the independent increments property of Brownian motion, which is different from the calculus rules in deterministic systems. It is just the difference that makes the difficulty in generalizing the stability analysis methods for time-delay systems, which is useful in reducing the conservatism of the stability result, to the stochastic case.

which illustrate the stochastic system (1) is exponentially stable in the mean square. Remark 2. Compare Theorem 2 with Theorem 1, it is easy to see that Theorem 2 is the special case of Theorem t 1. Let η T (t , s ) = ⎡⎢ x T (t ) x T (t − τ ) ∫ x T (s )ds f T ⎤⎥ t −τ ⎦ ⎣ and S1 = S 2 = S 3 = S 4 = 0 , we can get Theorem 2 from Theorem 1. So, we can know that the conservatism of Theorem 1 is less conservative than Theorem 2. From (20), we can see that the integral inequality is used in order to get the main result, which cause conservatism of the result. Here we choose another method to avoid the integral inequality. Choosing the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (33) and calculated the V& (x(t ), t ) as following:

V. CONCLUSION The exponential stability for stochastic delay systems with nonlinear uncertainties is investigated. Based on Ito calculus rules, a general type of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is introduced, and a novel stability condition is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are given to show that the criteria perform much better than existing stability results.
