Abstract
This paper investigates the finite-time stability and optimal impulsive control for stochastic age-structured HIV model with time-varying delay. A stochastic noise is introduced by using the Lévy process to characterize the phenomenon of discontinuous jumps in virus transmission, which cannot be described by a continuous stochastic process (e.g., Brownian motion). By employing the comparison theorem and the bounded impulsive interval method, we obtain the sufficient conditions of finite-time stability for a stochastic HIV system. The effects of impulse, delay and Lévy noise on the finite-time stability are considered in our sufficient conditions. Furthermore, optimal impulsive control is studied to seek the optimal and cost-effective strategy for HIV treatments, which shows that control strategies play an important role in HIV virus transmissions. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the validity of our results.

Appendix A: The proof of Theorem 2.4
Proof
Since the coefficients of system (8) are locally Lipschitz continuous, for any given initial data \(\{\Phi (t):-{\bar{\tau }}\le t\le 0\}\in {\mathcal {H}}\), there is a unique maximal local solution \(\big (X(t),Y(\cdot ,t),V(t)\big )\) on \(t\in [-{\bar{\tau }},\tau _e]\), where \(\tau _e\) is the explosion time (see [22]). Let \(n_0>0\) be sufficiently large for
For each integer \(n\ge n_0\), define the stopping time
Set \(\inf \emptyset =\infty \) (\(\emptyset \) represents the empty set). \(\tau _n\) increases as \(n\rightarrow \infty \). Let \(\tau _\infty = \lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }\tau _n\), then \(\tau _\infty \le \tau _e\) a.s. In what follows, if we can show that \(\tau _\infty =\infty \) a.s., then \(\tau _e=\infty \) a.s. and \(\big (X(t),Y(\cdot ,t),V(t)\big )\in {\mathscr {X}}\) a.s. Before showing this, we first show the boundedness of the global solution. Since \(\big (X(t),Y(\cdot ,t),V(t)\big )\) is positive on \([0,\tau _n)\), and
according to (A1) and the define of \(A_i(t)\) given by (10), it is obvious that \(A_i(t)\) is positive and bounded. Thus, \(\big (x(t),y(\cdot ,t),v(t)\big )\) is also positive on \([0,\tau _n)\). For any \(t\ne t_k\), adding the first and second equation of (7), and it follows from (A2) that
where \(\alpha =\min \{d',\mu _1'{\underline{\mu }}_2\}\) and
Making use of the stochastic comparison theorem [41] and the method of variation of constant, we know that there exists a positive constant \(K'\) such that
For the third equation of system (7), we have
The stochastic comparison theorem implies that
For \(t=t_k\), based on (A1), the same result can be obtained. Therefore, there exists a positive constant K such that
Next we prove that \(\tau _\infty = \lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }\tau _n=\infty \) a.s. Let \(W(t)=(X(t),Y(\cdot ,t),V(t))\), define a Lyapunov function
Let \(T>0\) be arbitrary, for any \(0\le t\le \tau _n\wedge T\), by Itô formula, we have
where \({\mathcal {L}}V=J_1+J_2+J_3\) with
According to (A1), (A2), (A3) and formula (29), we obtain
Now, for any \(n\ge n_0\), we integrate the both sides of (30) from 0 to \(\tau _n\wedge T\) and then take the expectations to derive
where \(\check{b}=\sup \{\ln (1+I_{ik})\}~(i=1,2,3)\). Since
Similarly, we have
and
Thus, we obtain
where
and according to (A2), we choose
Using Gronwall inequality, we obtain
Define
Then from (31), we know
It is straightforward to drive \(\lim \limits _{|Z|\rightarrow \infty }\inf \limits _{0\le t<\infty }V(W(t))=\infty \), thus \(\lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }\mu _n=\infty \). Letting \(n\rightarrow \infty \) in the inequality (32), we obtain \({\mathbb {P}}(\tau _n\le T)=0\), namely,\( {\mathbb {P}}(\tau _n>T)=1. \)
Thus, the required assertion is obtained. Hence, we complete the proof. \(\square \)
Appendix B: Numerical algorithm of control
where
with \(\alpha \in (0,2)\), \(\{V_k\}_{k\ge 1}\) is an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random sequence such that \({\mathbb {P}}(V_k=\pm 1)=\frac{1}{2}\), which is independent of the random sequence \(\{\Gamma _k\}_{k\ge 1}\).
