The average impulsive interval is widely used to describe the frequency of impulsive occurrence (FIO), where the occurrence number of impulses is bounded by a linear function of time interval length. However, the linear relationship may insufficiently or excessively characterize the occurrence number of impulses to stabilize impulsive time-varying systems. In this article, the impulsive density is introduced to describe a time-varying FIO, such that the occurrence number of impulses can be characterized more explicitly. Under the impulsive density, the asymptotical stability is considered for impulsive stochastic time-varying systems, where the continuous dynamics of systems, impulsive strengths, and instants are all assumed to be time-varying. In addition, the exponential stability is also investigated for impulsive stochastic time-varying systems with time-delay, which can extend some existing results. Two examples, including one example of the consensus for impulsive time-varying multiagent systems with time-delay, are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
