1. Introduction
Stochastic switching system is an indispensable class of hybrid dynamical systems, which is composed of a family of stochastic subsystems and a rule that orchestrates the switching among them. Yet, there inevitably exists delay phenomenon in the practical systems like physics, biology and economic [1] [2]. So it is important for us to study stochastic switching systems with delay. Over the previous few decades, stochastic switching delay systems have received much attention due to their potential applications in many fields, such as the control of mechanical systems, automotive industry, chemical and electrical engineering [3] [4].
It is well-known that stability is the major issue of control theory. Lyapunov-Razumikhin technique has been a powerful and effective method for investigating stability. Razumikhin developed this technique to study the stability of deterministic systems with delay in [5] [6], then, Mao extended this technique to stochastic functional differential equations [7] and neutral stochastic functional differential equations [8] to investigate p-th moment exponential stability of this systems. Later, this technique was appropriately developed and extended to some other stochastic systems, such as hybrid stochastic delay interval systems [9] and impulsive stochastic delay differential systems [10]. Recently, some researchers have introduced
-type function and extended the stability results to
stability, including the exponentialstability as a special case in [11] [12]. In [13], the researchers utilize multiple Lyapunov functions investigate the stability of stochastic switching nonlinear systems.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no results based on the Razumikhin approach referring to the
stability of stochastic switching nonlinear systems with delay. The main aim of this paper is to attempt to investigate p-th moment
stability of stochastic switching delay nonlinear systems. By the aid of Lyapunov-Ra- zumikhin approach, we obtain the p-th moment
stability of stochastic switching systems with delay in Section 3. An example is presented to illustrate the main results in Section 4. Finally, the conclusions are given in Section 5.
2. Preliminaries

3. Main Results
In this section, we shall establish Razumikhin-type theorems on the p-th moment
stable for stochastic delay nonlinear systems by using Razumikhin technique and Lyapunov functions. Before giving the efficient theorem, let us give some assumptions to the switching signal
.
Assumption 1. Switching signal
is right continuous and state-dependent.
Assumption 2. At each switching instant
, the state trajectory is not jumped.
Then, let us turn our attention to system (1) and give a sufficient result.
Theorem 1. For stochastic switching delay nonlinear systems (1), if there exist a group of Lyapunov functions
and positive constants
, such that

for all
,
and those
satisfying

where
.
and at each switching instant
,
(6)
where
.
Then, for any initial
, there exists a solution
on
to stochastic
switching delay nonlinear system (1). Moreover, the system (1) is p-th moment
stable and
. (7)
Proof. Fix the initial data
arbitrarily and write
simply. When
is
replaced by
, if we can prove (7) for all
, then the desired result is obtained.
Given switching signal
and instant
for arbitrary, assume that
is the last switching instant before
, i.e. there is no switching occur on the interval
.
Let
be arbitrary, if we can prove
![]()
we will complete this proof. By condition (6), this result follows from
![]()
Let
, we have
(8)
By the continuity of
, it is obvious that
.
We claim that (8) holds for all
.
In order to do so, we first prove that
![]()
That is
(9)
This can be verified by a contradiction, suppose that inequality (9) is not right, then by the continuity of
, there exists a smallest
such that for
and
as well
as
for all sufficiently small
, then for
, if
and
, by condition (3), we have
(10)
if
, then
since
, we, therefore, obtain
(11)
Therefore, for
, we have
![]()
By condition (4), we can obtain
![]()
By the continuity of
, for all sufficiently small
, when
, we have
![]()
By the
formula and continuity of
, for all sufficiently small
, we can obtain
![]()
By condition (4)
![]()
which is a contradiction. Hence, inequality (9) holds for all
, and inequality (8) is right for
.
Now, let
. We assume that inequality (8) holds for
, i.e.
(12)
That is
(13)
We will prove that
(14)
Suppose that inequality (14) is not right,
By condition (6) and inequality (12), we have
(15)
That is
![]()
Then by the continuity of
, there exists a smallest
such that for
,
and
as well as
for all suffi-
ciently small
, then for
, if
, then from (15), we have
(16)
if
, then
since
, we, therefore, obtain
(17)
Therefore, for
, we have
![]()
By condition (4), we can obtain
![]()
By the continuity of
, for all sufficiently small
, when
, we have
![]()
By the
formula and continuity of
, for all sufficiently small
, we can obtain
![]()
By condition (4)
![]()
which is a contradiction. Hence, inequality (14) holds for all
.
Therefore, by mathematical induction we obtain (8) holds for all
.
Then,
, we have
.
That is
.
Thus, the system (1) is p-th moment
stable.
4. Example
In this section, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the main results established in Section 3 as follows.
Consider a family of stochastic switching delay nonlinear systems
![]()
where
is switching signal. Let
be a switching sequence and the
th subsystem is active at time interval
, where
is switching instant,
and
.
We choose
,
,
,
,
, then,
,
,
,
,
.
When
, we choose
and
for the first subsystem; when
, we choose
and
for the second subsystem.
For the first subsystem, we choose
, then
. If
, we have
![]()
If
, then
.
For the second subsystem, we choose
, then
. If
, we have
![]()
If
, then
.
By Theorem 1, we can choose
, then
,
, which means that the conditions of Theorem 1 are satisfied. So the stochastic switching delay nonlinear systems are p-th moment
stability. The switching signal and the state trajectory are presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2, respectively.
Remark. In the example, a stochastic switching delay nonlinear system is constructed to show the efficiency of the results. Figure 1 describes switching signal changes over the time. Figure 2 depicts state trajectory changes over the time, the blue line describes the systems with delay and the red describes the systems without delay.
