Geometric Brownian Motion with delay

Abstract

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.
