LaSalle theorem (also known as the LaSalle invariance principle) plays an essential role in the systems and control theory. Recently, it has been extensively studied and developed for various types of one‐dimensional (1‐D) systems including deterministic and stochastic 1‐D systems in discrete‐ and continuous‐time domains. For two‐dimensional (2‐D) systems, such studies have received considerably less attention. In this article, based on discrete martingale theory, a LaSalle‐type theorem is first developed for a class of discrete‐time nonlinear stochastic 2‐D systems described by a Roesser model. The proposed result can be regarded as an extension of stochastic Lyapunov‐like theorem, which guarantees the convergence almost surely of system state trajectories. Extensions to the problem of optimal guaranteed cost control of nonlinear stochastic 2‐D systems are also presented. The proposed schemes are then utilized to derive tractable synthesis conditions of a suboptimal state‐feedback controller for uncertain 2‐D systems with multiplicative stochastic noises. The effectiveness of the obtained results is illustrated by given numerical examples and simulations.
