Moment boundedness of linear stochastic delay differential equations with distributed delay

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper studies the moment boundedness of solutions of linear stochastic delay differential equations with distributed delay. For a linear stochastic delay differential equation, the first moment stability is known to be identical to that of the corresponding deterministic delay differential equation. However, boundedness of the second moment is complicated and depends on the stochastic terms. In this paper, the characteristic function of the equation is obtained through techniques of Laplace transform. From the characteristic equation, sufficient conditions for the second moment to be bounded or unbounded are proposed.


The authors study scalar linear stochastic differential equations driven by standard Brownian motion in which the delay kernel is the same in the drift and the diffusion. They provide sufficient conditions for second moment stability and instability in terms of the coefficients. The main tool is a detailed study of an associated characteristic equation.
