Let \(B^{a,b}\) be a weighted-fractional Brownian motion with Hurst indexes a and b such that \(a>-1\) and \(0<b<1\wedge (1+a)\) . In this paper, we consider the linear self-attracting diffusion \( dX^{a,b}_t=dB^{a,b}_t-\theta \left( \int _0^t(X^{a,b}_t-X^{a,b}_s)ds-\nu \right) dt \) with \(X^{a,b}_0=0\) , where \(\theta >0\) , \(\nu \in {{\mathbb {R}}}\) are two real parameters. The model is an analogue of the linear self-attracting diffusion (Cranston and Le Jan in Math Ann 303:87–93, 1995). We study large time behavior of the model. For this seemingly trivial generalization, we find that the large time behavior is much more complex than that of fractional Brownian motion, which can not be observed in the model driven by fractional Brownian motion.
