Qual- itative properties such as existence, uniqueness and stability for stochastic differential systems have attracted more and more researchers’ attention. The existence of periodic, almost peri- odic(automorphic), asymptotically almost periodic, pseudo almost periodic(automorphic) solutions for stochastic differential equations was obtained. We refer the reader to [14, 6, 7, 17, 16, 10, 8, 1, 11] and references therein. On the other hand, impulsive phenomenon arises from many different real processes and phenomena which appeared in physics, chemical technology, population dynamics, biotechnology, medicine and economics. There has been a significant development in the theory of impulsive differential equations. For example, the existence of almost periodic (mild) solutions of abstract impulsive differential equations have been considered in [23, 24, 25, 4, 18, 19]. In [26], the authors combined the two directions and derived firstly some sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic solutions for a class of impulsive stochastic differential equations with delay. However, these above results quoted concern the case where the activation functions satisfy Lipschitz conditions. There are few authors have considered the problem of almost periodic solutions of impulsive stochastic differential equations without Lipschitz activation functions. On the basis of this, this article is devoted to the discussion of this problem. Moreover, the stability analysis on impulsive stochastic differential equations has been an important research topic (see [20, 22, 27]). While, because the mild solutions don’t have stochastic differentials, Ito’s formula fails to deal with the stability of mild solution to stochastic differential equations (see [20, 9, 15]). In [9], the authors gave some properties of the stochastic convolution which ensure the exponential stability of mild solutions. Motivated by the above discussion, we investigate the existence and stability of almost periodic solutions for impulsive stochastic differential equations. The paper is organized as follows, in Section 2 we recall some definitions, the related notations and some useful lemmas. In Sections 3 and 4, we present some criteria ensuring the existence of almost periodic solutions to some linear and nonlinear impulsive stochastic differential equations, respectively. In Section 5, we discuss the stability of almost periodic solutions to some impulsive stochastic differential equations. 2 Preliminaries Throughout this paper, R denotes the set of real numbers, R+ denotes the set of nonnegative real numbers, Z denotes the set of integers, Z+ denotes the set of nonnegative integers. (H, || · ||) is assumed to be a real and separable Hilbert space. Let (Ω,F,P) be a complete probability space and L2(P,H) be a space of the H-valued random variables x such that E||x||2 = ∫ Ω ||x||2dP < ∞. CUBO 15, 1 (2013) Existence and stability of almost periodic solutions to impulsive ... 79 L2(P,H) is a Hilbert space equipped with the norm ||x||2 = ( ∫ Ω ||x||2dP)1/2. Definition 2.1. A stochastic process x : R+ → L2(P,H) is said to be stochastically bounded if there exists M > 0 such that E||x(t)||2 ≤ M for all t ∈ R+. Definition 2.2. A stochastic process x : R+ → L2(P,H) is said to be stochastically continuous in s ∈ R+, if limt→s E||x(t) − x(s)|| 2 = 0. Let T be the set consisting of all real sequences {ti}i∈Z+ such that γ = infi∈Z+(ti+1 − ti) > 0, t0 = 0 and limi→∞ ti = ∞. x(t + i ) and x(t − i ) represent the right and left limits of x(t) at ti, i ∈ Z +, respectively. For {ti}i∈Z+ ∈ T, let PC(R +,L2(P,H)) be the space consisting of all stochastically bounded functions φ : R+ → L2(P,H) such that φ(·) is stochastically continuous at t for any t 6∈ {ti}i∈Z+ and φ(ti) = φ(t − i ) for all i ∈ Z +; let PC(R+ ×L2(P,H),L2(P,H)) be the space formed by all stochastic processes φ : R+ × L2(P,H) → L2(P,H) such that for any x ∈ L2(P,H), φ(·,x) is stochastically continuous at t for any t 6∈ {ti}i∈Z+ and φ(ti,x) = φ(t − i ,x) for all i ∈ Z + and for any t ∈ R+, φ(t, ·) is stochastically continuous at x ∈ L2(P,H). Definition 2.3. For {ti}i∈Z+ ∈ T, the function φ ∈ PC(R +,L2(P,H)) is said to be square-mean piecewise almost periodic if the following conditions are fulfilled: (1) {t j i = ti+j − ti}, j ∈ Z +, is equipotentially almost periodic, that is, for any ǫ > 0, there exists a relatively dense set Qǫ of R such that for each τ ∈ Qǫ there is an integer q ∈ Z such that |ti+q − ti − τ| < ǫ for all i ∈ Z +. (2) For any ǫ > 0, there exists a positive number δ = δ(ǫ) such that if the points t′ and t′′ belong to a same interval of continuity of φ and |t′ − t′′| < δ, then E||φ(t′) − φ(t′′)||2 < ǫ. (3) For every ǫ > 0, there exists a relatively dense set Ω(ǫ) in R such that if τ ∈ Ω(ǫ), then E||φ(t + τ) − φ(t)||2 < ǫ for all t ∈ R+ satisfying the condition |t − ti| > ǫ, i ∈ Z +. The number τ is called ǫ-translation number of φ. We denote by APT (R +,L2(P,H)) the collection of all the square-mean piecewise almost periodic processes, it thus is a Banach space with the norm ||x||∞ = supt∈R+ ||x(t)||2 = supt∈R+(E||x(t)|| 2) 1 2 for x ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)). Lemma 2.4. Let f ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)), then, R(f), the range of f is a relatively compact set of L2(P,H). Refer to [18] for the detailed proof of Lemma 2.4. Definition 2.5. For {ti}i∈Z+ ∈ T, the function f(t,x) ∈ PC(R + × L2(P,H),L2(P,H)) is said to be square-mean piecewise almost periodic in t ∈ R+ and uniform on compact subset of L2(P,H) if for every ǫ > 0 and every compact subset K ⊆ L2(P,H), there exists a relatively dense subset Ω of R such that E||f(t + τ,x) − f(t,x)||2 < ǫ, 80 Junwei Liu and Chuanyi Zhang CUBO 15, 1 (2013) for all x ∈ K,τ ∈ Ω,t ∈ R+ satisfying |t − ti| > ǫ. The collection of all such processes is denoted by APT (R + × L2(P,H),L2(P,H)). Lemma 2.6. Suppose that f(t,x) ∈ APT (R +×L2(P,H),L2(P,H)) and f(t, ·) is uniformly continuous on each compact subset K ⊆ L2(P,H) uniformly for t ∈ R. That is, for all ǫ > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that x,y ∈ K and E||x − y||2 < δ implies that E||f(t,x) − f(t,y)||2 < ǫ for all t ∈ R+. Then f(·,x(·)) ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)) for any x ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)). Proof. Since x ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)), by Lemma 2.4, R(x) is a relatively compact subset of L2(P,H). Because f(t, ·) is uniformly continuous on each compact subset K ⊆ L2(P,H) uniformly for t ∈ R. Then for any ǫ > 0, there exists number δ : 0 < δ ≤ ǫ 4 , such that E||f(t,x1) − f(t,x2)|| 2 < ǫ 4 , (1) where x1,x2 ∈ R(x) and E||x1 − x2|| 2 < δ, t ∈ R. By square-mean piecewise almost periodic of f and x, there exists a relatively set Ω of R such that the following conditions hold: E||f(t + τ,x0) − f(t,x0)|| 2 < ǫ 4 , (2) E||x(t + τ) − x(t)||2 < ǫ 4 , (3) for every x0 ∈ R(x) and t ∈ R +, |t − ti| > ǫ, i ∈ Z +, τ ∈ Ω. Note that (a + b)2 ≤ 2(a2 + b2) and E||f(t + τ,x(t + τ)) − f(t,x(t))||2 ≤2E||f(t + τ,x(t + τ)) − f(t + τ,x(t))||2 + 2E||f(t + τ,x(t)) − f(t,x(t))||2. Combing (1), (2) and (3), it follows that E||f(t + τ,x(t + τ)) − f(t,x(t))||2 < ǫ, t ∈ R+, |t − ti| > ǫ, i ∈ Z +, τ ∈ Ω. The proof is complete. We obtain the following corollary as an immediate consequence of Lemma 2.6. Corollary 2.7. Let f(t,x) ∈ APT (R +×L2(P,H),L2(P,H)) and f is Lipschitz, i.e., there is a number L > 0 such that E||f(t,x) − f(t,y)||2 ≤ LE||x − y||2, for all t ∈ R+ and x,y ∈ L2(P,H), if for any x ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)), then f(·,x(·)) ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)). Definition 2.8. A sequence x : Z+ → L2(P,H) is called a square-mean almost periodic sequence if the ǫ-translation set of x T(x;ǫ) = {τ ∈ Z : E||x(n + τ) − x(t)||2 < ǫ, for all n ∈ Z+} is a relatively dense set in Z for all ǫ > 0. The collection of all square-mean almost periodic sequences x : Z+ → L2(P,H) will be denoted by APT (Z +,L2(P,H)). CUBO 15, 1 (2013) Existence and stability of almost periodic solutions to impulsive ... 81 Remark 2.9. If x(n) ∈ APT (Z +,L2(P,H)), then {x(n) : n ∈ Z+} is stochastically bounded, that is, supn∈Z+ E||x(n)|| 2 < ∞. In order to obtain our main results, we introduce the following lemmas. Let h : R+ → R be a continuous function such that h(t) ≥ 1 for all t ∈ R+ and h(t) → ∞ as t → ∞. We consider the space (PC)0h(R +,L2(P,H)) = { u ∈ PC(R+,L2(P,H)) : lim t→∞ E||u(t)||2 h(t) = 0 } . Endowed with the norm ||u||h = supt∈R+ E||u(t)|| 2 h(t) , it is a Banach space. Lemma 2.10. A set B ⊆ (PC)0h(R +,L2(P,H)) is a relatively compact set if and only if (1) limt→∞ E||x(t)|| 2 h(t) = 0 uniformly for x ∈ B. (2) B(t) = {x(t) : x ∈ B} is relatively compact in L2(P,H) for every t ∈ R+. (3) The set B is equicontinuous on each interval (ti,ti+1)(i ∈ Z +). Lemma 2.11. Assume that f ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)), the sequence {xi : i ∈ Z +} is almost periodic in L2(P,H) and {t j i}, j ∈ Z +, is equipotentially almost periodic. Then for each ǫ > 0 there are relatively dense sets Ωǫ,f,xi of R and Qǫ,f,xi of Z such that the following conditions hold: (i) E||f(t + τ) − f(t)||2 < ǫ for all t ∈ R+, |t − ti| > ǫ, τ ∈ Ωǫ,f,xi and i ∈ Z +. (ii) E||xi+q − xi|| 2 < ǫ for all q ∈ Qǫ,f,xi and i ∈ Z +. (iii) For every τ ∈ Ωǫ,f,xi, there exists at least one number q ∈ Qǫ,f,xi such that |t q i − τ| < ǫ, i ∈ Z +. Lemma 2.10 and Lemma 2.11 are stochastic generalized versions of Lemma 4.1 in [12] and Lemma 35 in [23], respectively, and one may refer to [23, 18, 19, 26, 2, 13, 12] for more details. Here we omit the proofs. Lemma 2.12. ([9]) For any r ≥ 1 and for arbitrary L2(P,H)-valued process φ(·) such that sup s∈[0,t] E ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∫s 0 φ(u)dw(u) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 2r ≤ Cr ( ∫t 0 (E||φ(s)||2r) 1 r ds )r , t ≥ 0, where Cr = (r(2r − 1)) r. 3 Almost periodic solutions for linear impulsive stochastic differential equations To begin, consider the following linear impulsive stochastic differential equation: { dx(t) = [Ax(t) + f(t)]dt + g(t)dw(t), t ≥ 0,t 6= ti, i ∈ Z +, △x(ti) = x(t + i ) − x(t − i ) = βi, i ∈ Z +, (4) 82 Junwei Liu and Chuanyi Zhang CUBO 15, 1 (2013) where A is an infinitesimal generator which generates a C0-semigroup {T(t) : t ≥ 0} such that for all t ≥ 0, ||T(t)|| ≤ Me−δt with M,δ > 0 and {T(t) : t > 0} is compact. Furthermore, f,g : R → L2(P,H) are two stochastic processes, βi is a square-mean almost periodic sequence and w(t) is a two-sided standard one-dimensional Brownian motion, which is defined on the filtered probability space (Ω,F,P,Fσ) with Ft = σ{w(u) − w(v) : u,v ≤ t}. Definition 3.1. An Ft-progressive process x(t) is called a mild solution of system (4) if it satisfies the following stochastic integral equation x(t) = T(t)x0 + ∫t 0 T(t − s)f(s)ds + ∫t 0 T(t − s)g(s)dw(s) + ∑ 0 0, there exist relatively dense sets Ωǫ,f,g,xi of R and Qǫ,f,g,xi of Z such that the following relations hold: (1) E||f(t + τ) − f(t)||2 < ǫ,t ∈ R+, |t − ti| > ǫ,i ∈ Z +,τ ∈ Ωǫ,f,g,xi. (2) E||g(t + τ) − g(t)||2 < ǫ,t ∈ R+, |t − ti| > ǫ,i ∈ Z +,τ ∈ Ωǫ,f,g,xi. (3) E||xi+q − xi|| 2 < ǫ,i ∈ Z+,q ∈ Qǫ,f,g,xi. (4) For each τ ∈ Ωǫ,f,g,xi, ∃ q ∈ Qǫ,f,g,xi, s.t. |ti+q − ti − τ| < ǫ, i ∈ Z +. We write x(t) of (5) as x(t) = T(t)x0 + x1(t) + x2(t) + x3(t) where x1(t) = ∫t 0 T(t − s)f(s)ds, x2(t) = ∫t 0 T(t − s)g(s)dw(s), x3(t) = ∑ 0 ǫ,i ∈ Z +, one obtains E||x1(t + τ) − x1(t)|| 2 =E ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∫t 0 T(t − s)[f(s + τ) − f(s)]ds ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 ≤E [ ∫t 0 Me−δ(t−s)||f(s + τ) − f(s)||ds ]2 ≤E [ ∫t 0 M2e−δ(t−s)ds ∫t 0 e−δ(t−s)||f(s + τ) − f(s)||2ds ] ≤ M2 δ ∫t 0 e−δ(t−s)E||f(s + τ) − f(s)||2ds ≤ M2 δ ∫t 0 e−δ(t−s)ǫds ≤ M2 δ2 ǫ. (ii) x2 ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)). Let w̃(s) = w(s + τ) −w(τ) for each s ∈ R+. Note that w̃ is also 84 Junwei Liu and Chuanyi Zhang CUBO 15, 1 (2013) a Brownian motion and has the same distribution as w. By Lemma 2.12 and (2), we have E||x2(t + τ) − x2(t)|| 2 =E ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∫t 0 T(t − s)g(s + τ)dw(s + τ) − ∫t −∞ T(t − s)g(s)dw(s) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 =E ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∫t 0 T(t − s)[g(s + τ) − g(s)]dw̃(s) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ 2 ≤ ∫t 0 E||T(t − s)[g(s + τ) − g(s)]||2ds ≤ ∫t 0 M2e−2δ(t−s)E||g(s + τ) − g(s)||2ds ≤ ∫t 0 M2e−2δ(t−s)ǫds = M2 2δ ǫ. (iii) x3 ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)). Define r(t) = T(t − ti)βi, ti < t ≤ ti+1, i ∈ Z +. For ti < t ≤ ti+1, |t − ti| > ǫ, |t − ti+1| > ǫ,i ∈ Z +, by (4), we can get t + τ > ti + ǫ + τ > ti+q, and ti+q+1 > ti+1 + τ − ǫ > t + τ, that is, ti+q+1 > t + τ > ti+q. Since (a + b) 2 ≤ 2(a2 + b2), one has E||r(t + τ) − r(t)||2 =E||T(t + τ − ti+q)βi+q − T(t − ti)βi|| 2 =E||[T(t + τ − ti+q) − T(t − ti)]βi+q + T(t − ti)[βi+q − βi]|| 2 ≤2E||[T(t + τ − ti+q) − T(t − ti)]βi+q|| 2 + 2E||T(t − ti)[βi+q − βi]|| 2 ≤2||T(t + τ − ti+q) − T(t − ti)|| 2E||βi+q|| 2 + 2||T(t − ti)||E||βi+q − βi|| 2 ≤2||T(t + τ − ti+q) − T(t − ti)|| 2E||βi+q|| 2 + 2M2ǫ, since {T(t) : t ≥ 0} is a C0-semigroup (see [21, 3]), for the above ǫ, there exists 0 < µ < ǫ < 1 such that 0 < s < µ implies ||T(t − ti + s) − T(t − ti)|| < ǫ. Note that M0 = supi∈Z E||βi|| 2 < ∞, so E||r(t + τ) − r(t)||2 ≤ 2M0ǫ 2 + 2M2ǫ. Next we will prove that r is uniformly continuous on each interval (ti,ti+1)(i ∈ Z +). Let t,h ∈ R+ such that ti < t,t + h < ti+1, then E||r(t + h) − r(t)||2 ≤ ||T(t + h − ti) − T(t − ti)|| 2E||βi|| 2. CUBO 15, 1 (2013) Existence and stability of almost periodic solutions to impulsive ... 85 Since {T(t) : t ≥ 0} is a C0-semigroup and M0 = supi∈Z+ E||βi|| 2 < ∞, we conclude that E||r(t + h) − r(t)||2 → 0 as h → 0 independent of t and i. Finally, by Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and (3), E ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∑ 0 0} is compact, by Theorem 2.1 in [5], T(·)x0 ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)). By combing (i), (ii) and (iii), it follows that (5) is a square-mean piecewise almost periodic process, so system (4) has a square-mean piecewise almost periodic solution. The proof is complete. 4 Almost periodic solutions for nonlinear impulsive stochas- tic differential equations Consider the following nonlinear impulsive stochastic differential equation { dx(t) = [Ax(t) + f(t,x(t))]dt + g(t,x(t))dw(t), t ≥ 0,t 6= ti, i ∈ Z +, △x(ti) = x(t + i ) − x(t − i ) = Ii(x(ti)), i ∈ Z +, (6) where f,g : R+ × L2(P,H) → L2(P,H), Ii : L 2(P,H) → L2(P,H), i ∈ Z+ and w(t) is a two-sided standard one dimensional Brownian motion defined on the filtered probability space (Ω,F,P,Fσ) with Ft = σ{w(u) − w(v) : u,v ≤ t}. Definition 4.1. An Ft-progressive process x(t) is called a mild solution of system (6) if it satisfies 86 Junwei Liu and Chuanyi Zhang CUBO 15, 1 (2013) the corresponding stochastic integral equation x(t) = T(t)x0 + ∫t 0 T(t−s)f(s,x(s))ds+ ∫t 0 T(t−s)g(s,x(s))dw(s) + ∑ 0 0. Moreover, T(t) is compact for t > 0. (A2) f,g ∈ APT (R + × L2(P,H),L2(P,H)), for each compact set K ⊆ L2(P,H), g(t, ·),f(t, ·) are uniformly continuous in each compact set K ⊆ L2(P,H) uniformly for t ∈ R+. Ii(x) is almost periodic in i ∈ Z+ uniformly in x ∈ K and is a uniformly continuous function defined on the set K ⊆ L2(P,H) for all i ∈ Z+. (A3) FL = sup{t∈R+, E||x||2≤L} E||f(t,x)|| 2 < ∞, GL = sup{t∈R+, E||x||2≤L} E||g(t,x)|| 2 < ∞, IL = sup{i∈Z+, E||x||2≤L} E||Ii(x(ti))|| 2 < ∞, where L is an arbitrary positive number. Moreover, there exist a number L0 > 0 such that 4M 2L0 + 4M 2 δ2 FL0 + 2M 2 δ GL0 + 4M 2 (1−e−δγ)2 IL0 ≤ L0. Theorem 4.2. Assume that the conditions (A1)-(A3) are satisfied, then the impulsive stochastic differential equation (6) admits at least one square-mean piecewise almost periodic solution. Proof. Let B = {x ∈ APT (R +,L2(P,H)) : E||x||2 ≤ L0}. Obviously, B is a closed set of APT (R +,L2(P,H)). Define Γ on (PC)0h(R +,L2(P,H)), Γx(t) = T(t)x0 + ∫t 0 T(t − s)f(s,x(s))ds + ∫t 0 T(t − s)g(s,x(s))dw(s) + ∑ 0 0, and τ ′ is are discontinuity points of first type of the function u(t). Then the following estimate holds for the function u(t), u(t) ≤ C ∏ t0<τi
