Linear-noise approximations for stochastic processes with distributed
delays
   [PDF]

Tobias Brett, Tobias Galla
We develop a systematic approach to the linear-noise approximation for stochastic reaction systems with distributed delays. Unlike most existing work our formalism does not rely on a master equation as a starting point, instead it is based on a dynamical generating functional describing the probability measure over all possible paths of the dynamics. We derive general expressions for the Gaussian approximation for a broad class of non-Markovian systems with distributed delay. Exemplars of a model of gene regulation with delayed auto-inhibition and a model of epidemic spread with delayed recovery provide convincing evidence of the applicability of our results.
