TL;DR
This work establishes a rigorous bridge between hybrid SFDEs with infinite delays and their finite-delay counterparts by truncation. It proves global existence and bounded moments for the infinite-delay system, derives asymptotic and exponential convergence results for the truncated finite-delay models under various structural conditions, and develops EM-type numerical methods for the truncated systems. The results enable accurate numerical approximation of infinite-delay SFDEs, with explicit convergence rates for global-Lipschitz, Khasminskii, and highly nonlinear classes, and are complemented by numerical demonstrations on representative models. Overall, the paper provides a comprehensive theoretical and computational framework for solving hybrid SFDEs with infinite memory.
Abstract
This paper is to investigate if the solution of a hybrid stochastic functional differential equation (SFDE) with infinite delay can be approximated by the solution of the corresponding hybrid SFDE with finite delay. A positive result is established for a large class of highly nonlinear hybrid SFDEs with infinite delay. Our new theory makes it possible to numerically approximate the solution of the hybrid SFDE with infinite delay, via the numerical solution of the corresponding hybrid SFDE with finite delay.
