Abstract
Generally, stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs) pose a challenge as they often lack explicit exact solutions. Consequently, it becomes necessary to seek certain favorable conditions under which numerical solutions can converge towards the exact solutions. This article aims to delve into the convergence analysis of solutions for stochastic functional differential equations by employing the framework of G-Brownian motion. To establish the goal, we find a set of useful monotone type conditions and work within the space Cr((−∞,0];Rn). The investigation conducted in this article confirms the mean square boundedness of solutions. Furthermore, this study enables us to compute both LG2 and exponential estimates.

1. Introduction
Stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs) find applications in various fields of engineering and science, such as neural networks [15], financial assets [4,26,30], population dynamics [1,20], and gene expression [21]. A vast literature exists on moment estimates, convergence, stability, and existence of solutions for SFDEs [17,18,19,22,23]. The study of SFDEs driven by G-Brownian motion is relatively new, dating back to the invention of G-Brownian theory in 2006 [24]. In [4,25], the classical Lipschitz condition and linear growth condition were used to establish the existence-uniqueness theorem for SFDEs in the space . The study of SFDEs under the G-framework with non-Lipschitz conditions and mean square stability was investigated in [8]. The work in [7,9,10,11] provides insights into pth moment estimates, the Cauchy-Maruyama approximation scheme, and exponential estimates for solutions to SFDEs within the framework of G-Brownian motion. Asymptotic estimates were studied in [28], while SFDEs under the G-Lévy processes were investigated in [5]. In this article, we introduce some useful monotone type conditions to study SFDEs under the G-framework within the space . Our findings contribute to the growing body of research on SFDEs driven by G-Brownian motion and deepen our understanding of the role of G-framework in stochastic analysis. We study the convergence of solutions for a SFDEs using the framework of G-Brownian motion. Our analysis results in the mean square boundedness of solutions and allows us to compute both and exponential estimates. Consider a matrix A; its transpose is denoted by . Let denotes the set of continuous mappings from to . Define the space , as

Let denote the space of all -measurable stochastic processes taking values in , such that . Similarly, let denote the space of all -measurable stochastic processes taking values in , such that . Let be a complete probability space, where is a sigma-algebra of subsets. The natural filtration on is defined as the sigma-algebra, denoted by , where represents the Borel sigma-algebra of .

Finally, let be the collection of probability measures on satisfying for every . We define

Let denote the quadratic variation process of the G-Brownian motion defined on a complete probability space , where is a one-dimensional process under the filtration satisfying the usual conditions. The remaining paper is arranged as follows. Section 2 presents the basic results. In section 3, some useful lemmas are given. Section 4 investigates the mean square boundedness and convergence of solutions. In section 5, we first study the estimate and then derive the exponential estimate. Section 6 contains conclusions.

6. Conclusion
Several stochastic functional differential equations (SFDEs) in financial mathematics do not hold the standard Lipschitz assumption such as the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, Heston and Ait-Sahalia models. In this article some useful monotone type conditions have been introduced. We have proved that any two solutions of SFDEs in the G-framework under distinct initial conditions are convergent. The solutions are mean square bounded. The and exponential estimates have been calculated. We anticipate that the findings presented in this article will offer valuable insights into the analysis of equations, even when not under the constraints of standard assumptions. This contribution is poised to have a substantial positive impact on the examination of various unresolved inquiries, including the investigation into the existence, uniqueness, convergence and stability of solutions for backward and forward stochastic dynamic systems driven by G-Brownian motion with conditions of a monotone nature.
