Abstract: The time evolution of probability densities for solutions to stochastic differential equations (SDEs) without delay is usually described by Fokker-Planck equations, which require the adjoint of the infinitesimal generator for the solutions. However, Fokker-Planck equations do not exist for stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) because the solutions to SDDEs are not Markov processes and have no corresponding infinitesimal generators. In this paper, we address the open question of finding the governing equations for probability densities of SDDEs with discrete time delays. The governing equation is given in a simple form that facilitates theoretical analysis and numerical computation. An illustrative example is presented to verify the proposed governing equations.
