Stochastic stability in networks with decay

نویسنده

  • Francesco Feri
چکیده

This paper considers a stylized model of network formation in which relations among agents are subject to frictions, as described in Bala and Goyal [A non cooperative model of network formation, Econometrica 68 (2000) 1181–1231]. We analyze the process of network formation in a dynamic framework where selfinterested individuals can form or delete links and, occasionally, make mistakes. Then, using stochastic stability, we identify the network structures to which the formation process will converge. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. JEL classification: A14; D20; J00

Robust stability of stochastic fuzzy impulsive recurrent neural networks with\ time-varying delays

In this paper, global robust stability of stochastic impulsive recurrent neural networks with time-varyingdelays which are represented by the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models is considered. A novel Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI)-based stability criterion is obtained by using Lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of uncertain fuzzy stochastic impulsive recurrent neural...

Stability of two classes of improved backward Euler methods for stochastic delay differential equations of neutral type

This paper examines stability analysis of two classes of improved backward Euler methods, namely split-step $(theta, lambda)$-backward Euler (SSBE) and semi-implicit $(theta,lambda)$-Euler (SIE) methods, for nonlinear neutral stochastic delay differential equations (NSDDEs). It is proved that the SSBE method with $theta, lambdain(0,1]$ can recover the exponential mean-square stability with some...

General decay stability analysis of impulsive neural networks with mixed time delays

To the best of our knowledge, there are only few results on general decay stability applied to stochastic neural networks. In the paper, we study both the pth moment ðpZ2Þ and the almost sure stability on a general decay rate for impulsive stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with mixed time delays. The presented theory allows us to study the pth moment stability even if the exponential s...

H∞ Sampled-Data Controller Design for Stochastic Genetic Regulatory Networks

Artificially regulating gene expression is an important step in developing new treatment for system-level disease such as cancer. In this paper, we propose a method to regulate gene expression based on sampled-data measurements of gene products concentrations. Inherent noisy behaviour of Gene regulatory networks are modeled with stochastic nonlinear differential equation. To synthesize feed...

Arrival probability in the stochastic networks with an established discrete time Markov chain

The probable lack of some arcs and nodes in the stochastic networks is considered in this paper, and its effect is shown as the arrival probability from a given source node to a given sink node. A discrete time Markov chain with an absorbing state is established in a directed acyclic network. Then, the probability of transition from the initial state to the absorbing state is computed. It is as...

Stability analysis of support systems using a coupled FEM-DFN model (Case study: a diversion tunnel at Lorestan dam site, Iran)

Various structural discontinuities, which form a discrete fracture network, play a significant role in the failure conditions and stability of the rock masses around underground excavations. Several continuum numerical methods have been used to study the stability of underground excavations in jointed rock masses but only few of them can take into account the influence of the pre-existing natur...
