Title: Boundedness and exponential stability of highly nonlinear stochastic differential equations Authors: Ruihua Liu (Univ. of Dayton, Dayton, OH, USA) Youssef Raffoul (Univ. of Dayton, Dayton, OH, USA) Abstract: In this article we consider nonlinear stochastic differential systems and use Lyapunov functions to study the boundedness and exponential asymptotic stability of solutions. We provide several examples in which we consider stochastic systems with unbounded terms. Submitted October 30, 2008. Published November 12, 2009. Math Subject Classifications: 34F05, 60H10.
