Complete backward Euler numerical scheme for general SFDEs with exponential stability under the polynomial growth condition

Abstract

Abstract Stability of the solution to stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) have received a great deal of attention, but there is so far little work on stability of numerical solutions to nonlinear stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs). To close the gap, this paper proposes and studies a numerical scheme called complete backward Euler numerical scheme for general SFDEs. In the paper, we come up with a more general polynomial growth condition with Lyapunov function. Under the generalized polynomial growth condition, the almost sure exponential stability of the underlying continuous model and the numerical scheme is investigated by contrast. It is confirmed that the numerical scheme preserves the stability property of the continuous model with no restriction to the step size. Besides, the solvability of the implicit scheme is studied specially by introducing the concept of the generalized monotone vectorial functions. To establish the stability criteria for the nonlinear continuous model and the implicit scheme, some necessary lemmas have been established at first. At the end of the paper, a numerical example with simulation is proposed to illustrate the conditions, method and conclusions of the paper.
