Abstract
In this paper we consider the nonlinear third-order stochastic differential equation (1.1) and use Lyapunov functions to prove the stochastic asymptotic stability of the zero solution when p ≡ 0. When p ̸≡ 0, two results are studied:
(1) The uniform stochastic boundedness of all solutions,
(2) The exponential asymptotic stability in probability of the zero solution.
We obtained the results in a very simple form. In the last section, we give two examples to illustrate our main results of stability and boundedness.
