This article further discusses the output feedback stabilization problem for stochastic high-order nonlinear systems with time-varying delay. Under the weaker conditions on nonlinearities in drift and diffusion vector fields, by using the idea of homogeneous domination approach, skillfully choosing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasoviskii functional, and successfully solving several troublesome obstacles in the design and analysis procedure, an output feedback controller is constructed to render the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable in probability.
