Global Solutions and Exponential Stability of Stochastic Functional Differential Equations with Infinite Delay

This paper proves that, under the local Lipschitz condition, the stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay have global solutions without the linear growth condition. Furthermore, the pth moment exponential stability conditions are given. Finally, one example is presented to illustrate our theory.     

Stochastic Control Model on Rent Seeking

A continuous-time stochastic model is constructed to analyze how to control rent seeking behaviors. Using the stochastic optimization methods based on the modem risky theory, a unique positive solution to the dynamic model is derived. The effects of preference-related parameters on the optimal control level of rent seeking are discussed, and some policy measures are given. The results show that there exists a unique solution to the stochastic dynamic model under some macroeconomic assumptions, and that raising public expenditure may have reverse effects on rent seeking in an underdeveloped or developed economic environment.
