Lyapunov-like stability of switched stochastic systems

In this paper, three theorems regarding stability of switched stochastic systems are stated and proved. Lyapunov techniques are used to derive sufficient conditions for stability in probability of the overall system and we distinguish between the cases of a common Lyapunov function and multiple Lyapunov functions. An application to distributed air traffic management is discussed as a future goal.
