Abstract
In this paper we investigate the existence, uniqueness, asymptotic behavior of mild solutions to neutral stochastic
differential equations with delays driven by a fractional Brownian motion in a Hilbert space. The cases of finite and
infinite delays are analyzed.
Keywords: Asymptotic Behaviors; Delays; Fractional Brownian Motion; Mild Solution; Wiener Integral.

. Introduction
The theory of stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) has been studied
intensively in recent years [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5]. The fBm received much attention because of its huge range of
potential applications in several fields like telecommunications, networks, finance markets, biology and so on [6], [7],
[
8], [9]. Moreover, one of the simplest stochastic processes that is Gaussian, self-similar, and has stationary increments
is fBm [10]. In particular, fBm is a generalization of the classical Brownian motion, which depends on a parameter H ∈
ꢀ
(
0, 1) called the Hurst index [9]. It should be mentioned that when H = , the stochastic process is a standard Brownian

motion; when H ≠ 2, it behaves completely in a different way than the standard Brownian motion, in particular neither
is a semimartingale nor a Markov process. It is a self-similar process with stationary increments and has a long-memory
ꢀ
whenH ≠ 2. These significant properties make fBm a natural candidate as a model for noise in a wide variety of
physical phenomena such as mathematical finance, communication networks, hydrology and medicine. The existence
and uniqueness of mild solutions for a class of stochastic differential equations in a Hilbert space with a standard,
ꢀ
cylindrical fBm with the Hurst parameter in the interval ꢁ , 1ꢂ has been studied [11]. Maslowski and Nualart [12] have

studied the existence and uniqueness of a mild solution for nonlinear stochastic evolution equations in a Hilbert space
driven by a cylindrical fBm under some regularity and boundedness conditions on the coefficients. Recently, Caraballo
and et al [13] investigated the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to stochastic delay equations driven by fBm

with Hurst parameter H ∈ ꢁ2 , 1ꢂ. An existence and uniqueness result of mild solutions for a class of neutral stochastic
differential equation with finite delay, driven by an fBm in a Hilbert space has been investigated [14] in Boufoussi and
Hajji. The asymptotic behavior of solutions for stochastic differential equations with fBm has only been investigated by
a few authors [13], [14], [15]. Moreover Nguyen [16] has studied the asymptotic behaviors of mild solutions to neutral
stochastic differential equations driven by an fBm. Motivated by this consideration in this paper we investigate the
existence and uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors of mild solutions for a neutral stochastic differential equation with
finite or infinite delays driven by fBm in the following form
