Abstract
The exponential stability and the polynomial stability have been well studied for the exact and numerical solutions of the stochastic pantograph differential equations (SPDEs), while the result on the general decay stabilities is insufficient for SPDEs. In this paper, the sufficient conditions of the almost sure stability with general decay rate of the exact and numerical solutions for SPDEs have been considered. The stability of two different theta numerical methods, namely the split–step theta method and the stochastic linear theta method, have been discussed respectively. From the conditions, we established for the two theta approximations to reproduce the stability of the exact solution, and we see that the conditions for \(\theta \in \left [0,\frac {1}{2}\right ]\) are stronger than those for \(\theta \in \left (\frac {1}{2},1\right ]\). The bound of the Lyapunov exponent of the split-step theta method is little bigger than that of the stochastic linear theta method for sufficiently small step size. To illustrate the theoretical results, we give two examples to examine the almost sure exponential stability.
