A geometric Brownian motion with delay is the solution of a stochastic differential equation where the drift and diffusion coefficient depend linearly on the past of the solution, i.e. a linear stochastic functional differential equation. In this work the asymptotic behavior in mean square of a geometric Brownian motion with delay is completely characterized by a sufficient and necessary condition in terms of the drift and diffusion coefficients.
We give a complete characterisation of the domain of attraction of fixed points of branching Brownian motion (BBM) with critical drift. Prior to this classification, we introduce a suitable metric space of locally finite point measures on which we prove 1) that the BBM with critical drift is a well-defined Markov process and 2) that it satisfies the Feller property. Several applications of this characterisation are given.
We derive sufficient conditions for asymptotic and monotone exponential decay in mean square of solutions of the geometric Brownian motion with delay. The conditions are written in terms of the parameters and are explicit for the case of asymptotic decay. For exponential decay, they are easily resolvable numerically. The analytical method is based on construction of a Lyapunov functional (asymptotic decay) and forward-backward estimate for the square mean (exponential decay).
In this note we prove an existence and uniqueness result of solution for stochastic differential delay equations with hereditary drift driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H > 1/2$. Then, we show that, when the delay goes to zero, the solutions to these equations converge, almost surely and in $L^p$, to the solution for the equation without delay. The stochastic integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion is a pathwise Riemann-Stieltjes integral.
We investigate the problem of nonparametric estimation of the trend for stochastic differential equations with delay and driven by a fractional Brownian motion through the method of kernel-type estimation for the estimation of a probability density function.
In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic delay fractional evolution equations driven by fractional Brownian motion in a Hilbert space. Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions are obtained. An application to the stochastic fractional heat equation is presented to illustrate the theory.
In this note we prove the existence of a density for the law of the solution for 1-dimensional stochastic delay differential equations with normal reflection. The equations are driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H > 1/2$. The stochastic integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion is a pathwise Riemann-Stieltjes integral.
In this work, we will show the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the semi linear stochastic differential equations driven by weighted fractional Brownian motion with delay. We also prove smoothness of the density of the solution with respect to Lebesgue's measure on R^d for $d \geq 1$.
In this paper we study the controllability results of impulsive neutral stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay driven by fractional Brownian motion in a real separable Hilbert space. The controllability results are obtained using stochastic analysis and a fixed-point strategy. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.

We consider the model of branching Brownian motion with a single catalytic point at the origin and binary branching. We establish some fine results for the asymptotic behaviour of the numbers of particles travelling at different speeds and give an explicit characterisation of the spatial distribution of particles travelling at the critical speed.
Based on the classical probability, the stability criteria for stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs) where their coefficients are either linear or nonlinear but bounded by linear functions have been investigated intensively. Moreover, the dependent stability of the highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic differential equations is recently studied. In this paper, by using the nonlinear expectation theory, we explore the dependent stability of a class of highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic differential delay equations driven by $G$-Brownian motion ($G$-SDDEs). Firstly, we give preliminaries …
The aim of this paper is to present the analysis for the solutions of nonlinear stochastic functional differential equation driven by G-Brownian motion with infinite delay (G-SFDEwID). Under some useful assumptions, we have proved that the G-SFDEwID admits a unique local solution. The mentioned theory has been further generalized to show that G-SFDEwID admits a unique strong global solution. The asymptotic properties, mean square boundedness and convergence of solutions with different initial data have been derived. We have assessed that the solution map $X_t$ is mean square bounded and two so…
In this note we prove an existence and uniqueness result for the solution of multidimensional stochastic delay differential equations with normal reflection. The equations are driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H>1/2$. The stochastic integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion is a pathwise Riemann--Stieltjes integral.
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the time-changed stochastic process $\vphantom{X}^f\!X(t)=B(\vphantom{S}^f\!S (t))$, where $B$ is a standard one-dimensional Brownian motion and $\vphantom{S}^f\!S$ is the (generalized) inverse of a subordinator, i.e. the first-passage time process corresponding to an increasing Lévy process with Laplace exponent $f$. This type of processes plays an important role in statistical physics in the modeling of anomalous subdiffusive dynamics. The main result of the paper is the proof of the mixing property for the sequence of stationary increments of a subdiffus…
We investigate solutions of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) with time delayed generators driven by Brownian motions and Poisson random measures, that constitute the two components of a Levy process. In this new type of equations, the generator can depend on the past values of a solution, by feeding them back into the dynamics with a time lag. For such time delayed BSDE, we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions provided we restrict on a sufficiently small time horizon or the generator possesses a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant. We study differentiability in the va…
In this paper, we study the tail behavior of $\max_{i\leq N}\sup_{s>0}\left(W_i(s)+W_A(s)-βs\right)$ as $N\to\infty$, with $(W_i,i\leq N)$ i.i.d. Brownian motions and $W_A$ an independent Brownian motion. This random variable can be seen as the maximum of $N$ mutually dependent Brownian queues, which in turn can be interpreted as the backlog in a Brownian fork-join queue. In previous work, we have shown that this random variable centers around $\frac{σ^2}{2β}\log N$. Here, we analyze the rare-event that this random variable reaches the value $(\frac{σ^2}{2β}+a)\log N$, with $a>0$. It turns out…
In this note we consider a class of neutral stochastic functional differential equations with finite delay driven simultaneously by a fractional Brownian motion and a Poisson point processes in a Hilbert space. We prove an existence and uniqueness result and we establish some conditions ensuring the exponential decay to zero in mean square for the mild solution by means of the Banach fixed point principle.
We consider a mean-field optimal control problem for stochastic differential equations with delay driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter greater than one half. Stochastic optimal control problems driven by fractional Brownian motion can not be studied using classical methods, because the fractional Brownian motion is neither a Markov process nor a semi-martingale. However, using the fractional White noise calculus combined with some special tools related to the differentiation for functions of measures, we establish and prove necessary and sufficient stochastic maximum princ…
Using coupling by change of measure and an approximation technique, Wang's Harnack inequalities are established for a class of functional SDEs driven by subordinate Brownian motions. The results cover the corresponding ones in the case without delay.
This paper focuses on controllability results of stochastic delay partial functional integro-differential equations perturbed by fractional Brownian motion. Sufficient conditions are established using the theory of resolvent operators combined with a fixed point approach for achieving the required result. An example is provided to illustrate the theory.
The paper studies the question of whether the classical mirror and synchronous couplings of two Brownian motions minimise and maximise, respectively, the coupling time of the corresponding geometric Brownian motions. We establish a characterisation of the optimality of the two couplings over any finite time horizon and show that, unlike in the case of Brownian motion, the optimality fails in general even if the geometric Brownian motions are martingales. On the other hand, we prove that in the cases of the ergodic average and the infinite time horizon criteria, the mirror coupling and the sync…
In this article, we illustrate the flexibility of the algebraic integration formalism introduced by M. Gubinelli (2004), by establishing an existence and uniqueness result for delay equations driven by rough paths. We then apply our results to the case where the driving path is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H>1/3.
In this article we investigate the controllability for neutral stochastic functional integro-differential equations with finite delay, driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter lesser than $1/2$ in a Hilbert space. We employ the theory of resolvent operators combined with the Banach fixed point theorem to establish sufficient conditions to prove the desired result
Let $B=(B_t)_{t\in {\mathbb{R}}}$ be a two-sided standard Brownian motion. An unbiased shift of $B$ is a random time $T$, which is a measurable function of $B$, such that $(B_{T+t}-B_T)_{t\in {\mathbb{R}}}$ is a Brownian motion independent of $B_T$. We characterise unbiased shifts in terms of allocation rules balancing mixtures of local times of $B$. For any probability distribution $ν$ on ${\mathbb{R}}$ we construct a stopping time $T\ge0$ with the above properties such that $B_T$ has distribution $ν$. We also study moment and minimality properties of unbiased shifts. A crucial ingredient of …
In this paper we consider the controllability of certain class of non-autonomous neutral evolution stochastic functional differential equations, with time varying delays, driven by a fractional Brownian motion in a separable real Hilbert space. Sufficient conditions for controllability are obtained by employing a fixed point approach. A practical example is provided to illustrate the viability of the abstract result of this work.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of mild solution for a stochastic neutral partial functional integro-differential equation with delay in a Hilbert space driven by a fractional Brownian motion and with non-deterministic diffusion coefficient. We suppose that the linear part has a resolvent operator. We also establish a sufficient condition for the existence of the density of a function of the solution. An example is provided to illustrate the results of this work

In this paper, we establish a large deviation principle for stochastic differential delay equations driven by both Brownian motions and Poisson random measures. The weak convergence method plays an important role.
In this note we prove an existence and uniqueness result of solution for multidimensional delay differential equations with normal reflection and driven by a Hölder continuous function of order $β\in (\frac13,\frac12)$. We also obtain a bound for the supremum norm of this solution. As an application, we get these results for stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H $\in (\frac13,\frac12)$.
We prove a scaling limit result for random walk on certain random planar maps with its natural time parametrization. In particular, we show that for $γ\in (0,2)$, the random walk on the mated-CRT map with parameter $γ$ converges to $γ$-Liouville Brownian motion, the natural quantum time parametrization of Brownian motion on a $γ$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface. Our result applies if the mated-CRT map is embedded into the plane via the embedding which comes from SLE / LQG theory or via the Tutte embedding (a.k.a. the harmonic or barycentric embedding). In both cases, the convergence is…
In this paper we study the existence of a unique solution to a general class of Young delay differential equations driven by a Hölder continuous function with parameter greater that 1/2 via the Young integration setting. Then some estimates of the solution are obtained, which allow to show that the solution of a delay differential equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst parameter H>1/2 has a smooth density. To this purpose, we use Malliavin calculus based on the Frechet differentiability in the directions of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated with fBm.
The paper is concerned with a mixed stochastic delay differential equation involving both a Wiener process and a $γ$-Hölder continuous process with $γ>1/2$ (e.g. a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter greater than $1/2$). It is shown that its solution depends continuously on the coefficients and the initial data. Two applications of this result are given: the convergence of solutions to equations with vanishing delay to the solution of equation without delay and the convergence of Euler approximations for mixed stochastic differential equations. As a side result of independent inter…
We provide a new characterisation of Duquesne and Le Gall's $α$-stable tree, $α\in(1,2]$, as the solution of a recursive distribution equation (RDE) of the form $\mathcal{T}\overset{d}{=}g(ξ,\mathcal{T}_i, i\geq0)$, where $g$ is a concatenation operator, $ξ= (ξ_i, i\geq 0)$ a sequence of scaling factors, $\mathcal{T}_i$, $i \geq 0$, and $\mathcal{T}$ are i.i.d. trees independent of $ξ$. This generalises a version of the well-known characterisation of the Brownian Continuum Random Tree due to Aldous, Albenque and Goldschmidt. By relating to previous results on a rather different class of RDE, w…
In this paper, we are concerned with convergence rate of Euler-Maruyama (EM) scheme for stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs) of neutral type, where the neutral term, the drift term and the diffusion term are allowed to be of polynomial growth. More precisely, for SDDEs of neutral type driven by Brownian motions, we reveal that the convergence rate of the corresponding EM scheme is one half; Whereas for SDDEs of neutral type driven by jump processes, we show that the best convergence rate of the associated EM scheme is close to one half.
For a real cadlag function $f$ and positive constant $c$ we find another cadlag function, which has the smallest total variation possible among the functions uniformly approximating f with accuracy c=2. The solution is expressed with the truncated variation, upward truncated variation and downward truncated variation introduced in the papers R. Łochowski, Truncated variation of Brownian motion with drift, Bull. Pol. Acad. Sci. Math. Vol. 56 (2008) and R. Łochowski, Truncated variation, upward truncated variation and downward truncated variation of Brownian motion with drift - their characteris…
Consider the motion of a Brownian particle in two or more dimensions, whose coordinate processes are standard Brownian motions with zero drift initially, and then at some random/unobservable time, one of the coordinate processes gets a (known) non-zero drift permanently. Given that the position of the Brownian particle is being observed in real time, the problem is to detect the time at which a coordinate process gets the drift as accurately as possible. We solve this problem in the most uncertain scenario when the random/unobservable time is (i) exponentially distributed and (ii) independent …
In this paper we investigate the argmin process of Brownian motion $B$ defined by $α_t:=\sup\left\{s \in [0,1]: B_{t+s}=\min_{u \in [0,1]}B_{t+u} \right\}$ for $t \geq 0$. The argmin process $α$ is stationary,with invariant measure which is arcsine distributed. We prove that $(α_t; t \geq 0)$ is a Markov process with the Feller property, and provide its transition kernel $Q_t(x,\cdot)$ for $t>0$ and $x \in [0,1]$. Similar results for the argmin process of random walks and Lévy processes are derived. We also consider Brownian extrema of a given length. We prove that these extrema form a delayed…
Aiming for more realistic optimal dividend policies, we consider a stochastic control problem with linearly bounded control rates using a performance function given by the expected present value of dividend payments made up to ruin. In a Brownian model, we prove the optimality of a member of a new family of control strategies called delayed linear control strategies, for which the controlled process is a refracted diffusion process. For some parameters specifications, we retrieve the strategy initially proposed by Avanzi & Wong (2012) to regularize dividend payments, which is more consistent w…
We consider a stationary fluid queue with fractional Brownian motion input. Conditional on the workload at time zero being greater than a large value $b$, we provide the limiting distribution for the amount of time that the workload process spends above level $b$ over the busy cycle straddling the origin, as $b\to\infty$. Our results can be interpreted as showing that long delays occur in large clumps of size of order $b^{2-1/H}$. The conditional limit result involves a finer scaling of the queueing process than fluid analysis, thereby departing from previous related literature.
In this paper, employing the weak convergence method, based on a variational representation for expected values of positive functionals of a Brownian motion, we investigate moderate deviation %(CLT for abbreviation) for a class of stochastic differential delay equations with small noises, where the coefficients are allowed to be highly nonlinear growth with respect to the variables. Moreover, we obtain the central limit theorem for stochastic differential delay equations which the coefficients are polynomial growth with respect to the delay variables.
Analogous to the characterisation of Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold as the development of Brownian motion on a Euclidean space, we construct sub-Riemannian diffusions on equinilpotentisable sub-Riemannian manifolds by developing a canonical stochastic process arising as the lift of Brownian motion to an associated model space. The notion of stochastic development we introduce for equinilpotentisable sub-Riemannian manifolds uses Cartan connections, which take the place of the Levi-Civita connection in Riemannian geometry. We first derive a general expression for the generator of the …
We introduce a new class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with seed bank modeling the spread of a beneficial allele in a spatial population where individuals may switch between an active and a dormant state. Incorporating dormancy and the resulting seed bank leads to a two-type coupled system of equations with migration between both states. We first discuss existence and uniqueness of seed bank SPDEs and provide an equivalent delay representation that allows a clear interpretation of the age structure in the seed bank component. The delay representation will also be crucial…
This paper is concerned with strong convergence and almost sure convergence for neutral stochastic differential delay equations under non-globally Lipschitz continuous coefficients. Convergence rates of $θ$-EM schemes are given for these equations driven by Brownian motion and pure jumps respectively, where the drift terms satisfy locally one-sided Lipschitz conditions, and diffusion coefficients obey locally Lipschitz conditions, and the corresponding coefficients are highly nonlinear with respect to the delay terms.
