Keywords: Noise perturbation, stochastic delay optimal control system, oscillation, classical delay differential system, time lag

The paper studies how an Ito-type noise perturbation influences the creation, existence and destruction of oscillation in solutions of a stochastic optimal time lag control system with a delayed target. We establish that if the noise is absent under certain conditions, the system can admit a nonoscillatory solution. This cannot happen in the presence of noise irrespective of the magnitude of the time lags. We contrast the oscillatory behaviour of the system with that of a comparable classical delay differential system to justify the effectiveness of our results
