Dynamics of a mean-reverting stochastic volatility equation with regime switching

Abstract In this paper, we consider a mean-reverting stochastic volatility equation with regime switching, and present some sufficient conditions for the existence of global positive solution, asymptotic boundedness in pth moment, positive recurrence and existence of stationary distribution of this equation. Some results obtained in this paper extend the ones in literature. Example is given to verify the results by simulation.
