Stochastic Liénard equations with state-dependent switching

This work focuses on stochastic Liénard equations with state-dependent switching. First, the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution are obtained by successive construction method. Next, strong Feller property is proved by introducing certain auxiliary processes and using the Radon-Nikodym derivatives and truncation arguments. Based on these results, positive Harris recurrence and exponential ergodicity are obtained under the Foster-Lyapunov drift conditions. Finally, examples using van der Pol equations are presented for illustrations, and the corresponding Foster-Lyapunov functions for the examples are constructed explicitly.
