Abstract

Long time behavior of stochastic differential equations (SDE) involves two instances of exponential mean square stability (EMS-stability). First deals with stability of the original continuous time system while the second is concerned with stability after the time step discretization. By considering a linear operator S associated with SDE, we show that the discrete system is EMS-stable if and only if S is a positive contraction on the set of symmetric positive definite matrices.
