Abstract

The paper studies the stability of an autonomous convolution Itô-Volterra equation where the linear diffusion term depends on the current value of the state only, and the memory of the past fades exponentially fast. It is shown that the presence of noise can stabilize an equilibrium solution which is unstable in the absence of this noise.
