Abstract
This article is concerned with a stochastic model of gene expression with distributed delay and degenerate diffusion. We transform the model with weak kernel case into an equivalent system through the linear chain technique. Since the diffusion matrix is of degenerate type, the uniform ellipticity condition is not satisfied. The Markov semigroup theory is used to obtain the existence and uniqueness of a stable stationary distribution. We prove the densities of the distributions of the solutions can converge in L
1
to an invariant density. The existence of the stationary distribution implies stochastic weak stability. Numerical simulation is introduced to illustrate the analytical result.
