The mean square BIBO stability is investigated for stochastic control systems with mixed delays and nonlinear perturbations. The system with mixed delays is transformed, then a class of suitable Lyapunov functionals is selected, and some novel delay-dependent BIBO stabilization in mean square criteria for stochastic control systems with mixed delays and nonlinear perturbations are obtained by applying the technique of analyzing controller and the method of existing a positive definite solution to an auxiliary algebraic Riccati matrix equation. A numerical example is given to illustrate the validity of the main results. 1. Introduction In recent years, Bounded-Input Bounded-Output BIBO stabilization has been investigated by many researchers in order to track out the reference input signal in real world, see 1–6 and some references therein. On the other hand, because of the finite switching speed, memory effects, and so on, time delays are unavoidable in technology and nature, commonly exist in various mechanical, chemical engineering, physical, biological, and economic systems. They can make the concerned control system be of poor performance and instable, which cause the hardware implementation of the control system to become difficult. It is necessary to introduce the distributed delay in control systems, which can describe mathematical modeling of many biological phenomena, for instance, in preypredator systems, see 7–9. And so, BIBO stabilization analysis for mixed delays and nonlinear systems is of great significance. In 10, 11, the sufficient condition for BIBO stabilization of the control system with no delays was proposed by the Bihari-type inequality. In 12, 13, employing the parameters 2 Advances in Difference Equations technique and the Gronwall inequality investigated the BIBO stability of the system without distributed time delays. In 14–16, based on Riccati-equations, by constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions, some BIBO stabilization criteria for a class of delayed control systems with nonlinear perturbations were established. In 17, the BIBO stabilization problem of a class of piecewise switched linear system was further investigated. However, up to now, these previous results have been assumed to be in deterministic systems, including continuous time deterministic systems and discrete time deterministic systems, but seldom in stochastic systems see 18, Fu and Liao get several mean square BIBO stabilization criteria in terms of Razumikhin technique and comparison principle. In practice, stochastic control systems are more applicable to problems that are environmentally noisly in nature or related to biological realities. Thus, the BIBO stabilization analysis problems for stochastic case are necessary. Up to now, to the best of authors knowledge, the method of existence of a positive definite solution to an auxiliary algebraic Riccati matrix equation is only used to deal with the BIBO stabilization for deterministic differential equations 14–17, not for stochastic differential equations. Motivated by the above discussions, the main aim of this paper is to study the BIBO stabilization in mean square for the stochastic control system with mixed delays and nonlinear perturbations. Based on the technique of analyzing controller and transforming of the system, various suitable Lyapunov functionals are selected, different Riccati matrix equations are established, and some sufficient conditions guaranteeing BIBO stabilization in mean square are obtained. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the derived results. 2. Problem Formulation and Preliminaries Consider the stochastic control system described by the following equation: dxt Axt B1 xt − h1 B2 t xsds ft, xt Dut dt t−h2 C1 xt − τ1 C2 t xsds dwt, t ≥ t0 ≥ 0, t−τ2 2.1 yt Hxt, xθ ϕθ ∈ CFb 0 t0 − τ, t0 ; Rn , θ ∈ t0 − τ, t0 , where xt, ut, yt are the state vector, control input, control output of the system, respectively. τ1 > 0, h1 > 0 are discrete time delays, and h2 > 0, τ2 > 0 are distributed time delays, τ max{τ1 , τ2 , h1 , h2 }.

Theorem 3.2. The nonlinear stochastic control system 3.23 with the control law 2.3 is BIBO stabilized in mean square if there exist symmetric positive-definite matrices Si > 0, i 1, 2, . . . , 10, and Q2 > 0 such that λmin Q2 − 2αP > 0 3.24 and P is the symmetric positive solution of the Riccati equation P A h2 B2 A h2 B2 T P P Σ2 P Δ2 Ξ2 −Q2 , 3.25 where T T −1 −1 Σ2 B1 S−1 2 B1 2DS10 D S5 S6 , T T −1 2 T Δ2 A h2 B2 T P B2 S−1 1 B2 P A h2 B2 D P S7 P D τ2 C2 P C2 T T −1 T T −1 DT P S−1 8 P D C1 P C1 C1 P C2 S4 C2 P C1 D P S9 P D T B1T P B2 S−1 3 B2 P B1 , 3.26 1 Ξ2 S2 S5 S6 h42 S1 S3 S7 S8 S9 τ22 S4 , 3 K1 S10 DT P , K2 K3 D−1 .

The rest of the proof is essentially as that of Theorem 3.1, and hence is omitted. This completes the proof. Remark 3.3.

Here we omitted it. Theorem 3.4. The nonlinear stochastic control system 2.1 with the control law 2.3 is BIBO stabilized in mean square if there exist symmetric positive-definite matrices Ωi > 0, i 1, 2, . . . , 6, and Q3 > 0 such that λmin Q3 − 2αP > 0 3.30 Advances in Difference Equations 11 and P is the symmetric positive solution of the Riccati equation P A AT P P Σ3 P Δ3 Ξ3 −Q3 , 3.31 where T −1 T T −1 −1 Σ3 B1 Ω−1 1 B1 h2 B2 Ω2 B2 2DΩ6 D Ω4 Ω5 , T 2 T Δ3 C1T P C1 τ2 C2T P C1 Ω−1 3 C1 P C2 τ2 C2 P C2 , Ξ3 Ω1 h2 Ω2 τ2 Ω3 Ω4 Ω5 , K1 Ω6 DT P , 3.32 K2 K3 D−1 .

Let ρ1 λmin Q3 − 2αP , ρ2 6P Drt∞ . The following proof runs as that of Theorem 3.1., and hence is omitted. This completes the proof. Remark 3.5. The systems 2.1, 3.1, and 3.23 are also asymptotically stable in mean square when all the conditions in Theorems 3.1–3.4 are satisfied, if rt 0, rt − h1 0, rt − h2 0 in 2.3. Remark 3.6. In 18, the authors studied the BIBO stabilization of stochastic delayed systems with uncertainty in terms of Razumikhin technique and comparison principle. In the present paper, we are the first to introduce a new way in the study of BIBO stabilization for stochastic delayed systems by using algebraic Riccati matrix equation, which makes the stability conditions be morefeasible. 12 Advances in Difference Equations Remark 3.7. In 18, researchers investigate the BIBO stabilization of stochastic delayed systems with uncertainty without distributed time delays and nonlinear perturbations. In 15, the authors discussed the BIBO stabilization of mixed time-delayed systems with nonlinear perturbations, but the environmental noise is not taken into account in the models. Therefore, compared with see 14–18, the systems reported in this paper are more general. Remark 3.8. The criteria given in Theorem 3.1–3.4 are delay dependent with respect to delays. Generally speaking, the delay-dependent stability criterion is less conservative than delayindependent stability when the time delay is small. 4. Example In this section, a numerical example will be presented to show the effectiveness of the main results derived in this paper. Example 4.1. As a simple application of Theorem 3.4, consider the stochastic control system 2.1 with control law 2.3; the parameters are given by A −2 0 0 −1 , −1 1 B1 1 −2 B2 C1 , 1 0 , 0 1 D −1 0 0 −1 , 4.1 C2 0, f 0.25 sint, 0.25 costT . For Ωi 1 0 0 1 i 1, 2, . . . , 6, Q3 11 7 , 7 14 4.2 solving for P in the Riccati matrix 3.31 gives us P 1 1 , 1 4 4.3 therefore, the stabilizing feedback gain matrix is given by K1 −11 −7 −7 −14 , K2 K3 −1 0 0 −1 . 4.4 Meanwhile, we obtain the maximum value τmax 0.6667. 5. Conclusions The problem of delay-dependent BIBO stabilization in mean square for the stochastic control systems with mixed delays and nonlinear perturbations was investigated. A suitable class of Advances in Difference Equations 13 Lyapunov functional combined with the descriptor model transformation and decomposition technique of controller were constructed to derive some novel mean square BIBO stability criteria. This paper was the first to successfully introduce the method of Riccati matrix equation to stochastic BIBO stabilization. A numerical example was given to illustrate the validity of the main results.
