This textbook provides the first systematic presentation of the theory of stochastic differential equations with Markovian switching. It presents the basic principles at an introductory level but emphasizes current advanced level research trends. The material takes into account all the features of Ito equations, Markovian switching, interval systems and time-lag. The theory developed is applicable in different and complicated situations in many branches of science and industry.

This brief treats dynamical systems that involve delays and random disturbances. The study is motivated by a wide variety of systems in real life in which random noise has to be taken into consideration and the effect of delays cannot be ignored. Concentrating on such systems that are described by functional stochastic differential equations, this work focuses on the study of large time behavior, in particular, ergodicity.This brief is written for probabilists, applied mathematicians, engineers, and scientists who need to use delay systems and functional stochastic differential equations in their work. Selected topics from the brief can also be used in a graduate level topics course in probability and stochastic processes.
