1 Introduction
Liapunov’s direct method has been successfully used to investigate stability properties of a wide variety of differential equations However, there are many difficulties encountered in the study of stability by means of Liapunov’s direct method Recently, Burton1 4, Jung 5, Luo6, and Zhang 7 studied the stability by using the fixed point theory which solved the difficulties encountered in the study of stability by means of Liapunov’s direct method
Up till now, the fixed point theory is almost used to deal with the stability for deterministic differential equations, not for stochastic differential equations Very recently, Luo
6 studied the mean square asymptotic stability for a class of linear scalar neutral stochastic differential equations For more details of the stability concerned with the stochastic differential equations, we refer to8,9 and the references therein
Motivated by previous papers, in this paper, we consider the mean square asymptotic stability of a generalized linear neutral stochastic differential equation with variable delays by using the fixed point theory An asymptotic mean square stability theorem with a necessary
Trang 2and sufficient condition is proved Two examples is also given to illustrate our results The results presented in this paper improve and generalize the main results in1,6,7
2 Main results
Let Ω, F, {Ft} t≥0, P be a complete filtered probability space and let Wt denote a
one-dimensional standard Brownian motion defined on Ω, F, {Ft} t≥0, P such that {Ft}t≥0 is the
natural filtration of W t Let at, bt, bt, ct, et, qt ∈ CR , R , and τt, δt ∈ CR , R
with t − τt → ∞ and t − δt → ∞ as t → ∞ Here CS1, S2 denotes the set of all continuous
functions φ : S1→ S2with the supremum norm·
In 2003, Burton1 studied the equation
t − τt 2.1 and proved the following theorem

Recently, Zhang7 studied the generalization of 2.1 as follows:

b j txt − τj t 2.3 and obtained the following theorem
Theorem B Zhang 7 Suppose that τj is differential, the inverse function g j t of t − τj t exists,
and there exists a constant α ∈ 0, 1 such that for t ≥ 0, lim inft→∞t

Very recently, Luo6 considered the following neutral stochastic differential equation:
d
x t − qtxt − τt a txt btxt − τtdt c txt etxt − δtdW t
2.5 and obtained the following theorem
Trang 3Theorem C Luo 6 Let τt be derivable Assume that there exists a constant α ∈ 0, 1 and a
continuous function h t : 0, ∞ → R such that for t ≥ 0, lim inft→∞t

Then the zero solution of 2.5 is mean square asymptotically stable if and only ift

Therefore, P is mean square continuous on t0,∞
Next, we verify that P x ∈ S Since E|xt| → 0, t − δjt → ∞ as t → ∞, for each > 0, there exists a T1 > t0such that s ≥ T1implies E|xs|2 < and E |xs − δjs|2 < Thus, for t ≥ T1,

By conditionii and 2.11, there exists T2> T1such that t ≥ T2implies
Thus, E|I5t|2→ 0, as t → ∞ Similarly, we can show that E|Iit|2
Thus, E|Pxt|2→ 0 as t → ∞ This yields Px ∈ S.
Now we show that P : S → S is a contraction mapping From ii, we can choose ε > 0 such that α2 ε < 1 Thus, for each t0≥ 0, we can find a constant L > 0 such that

Trang 7Therefore, P is contraction mapping with contraction constant α2 ε By the contraction mapping principle, P has a fixed point x ∈ S, which is a solution of 2.7
onmt0, t0 and E|xt|2→ 0 as t → ∞.
To obtain the mean square asymptotic stability, we need to show that the zero solution
of 2.7 is mean square stable Let > 0 be given and choose δ > 0 and δ < satisfying the
following condition:
4δK21 Le2 t0

which contradicts the definition of t∗ Thus, the zero solution of2.7 is stable It follows that the zero solution of2.7 is mean square asymptotically stable if 2.11 holds
Conversely, we suppose that 2.11 fails From i, there exists a sequence {tn} with
