By employing a semi-analytical dynamical mean-field approximation theory previously proposed by the author [H. Hasegawa, Phys. Rev. E 67, 041903 (2003)], we have developed an augmented moment method (AMM) in order to discuss dynamics of an N -unit ensemble described by Langevin equations with delays. In AMM, original N -dimensional stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) are transformed...
