Global stability of coupled Markovian switching reaction-diffusion systems on networks

In this paper, we investigate the stability problem for some Markovian switching reaction-diffusion coupled systems on networks (MSRDCSNs). By using the Lyapunov function, we establish some novel stability principles for stochastic stability, asymptotically stochastic stability, globally asymptotically stochastic stability and almost surely exponential stability of the MSRDCSNs. These stability principles have a close relation to the topology property of the network. We also provide a systematic method for constructing global Lyapunov function for these MSRDCSNs by using graph theory. The new method can help analyze the dynamics of complex networks.
