Existence and approximate controllability of Sobolev type fractional stochastic evolution equations

Abstract

Abstract We study the existence of mild solutions and the approximate controllability concept for Sobolev type fractional semilinear stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces. We prove existence of a mild solution and give sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability. In particular, we prove that the fractional linear stochastic system is approximately controllable in [0, b] if and only if the corresponding deterministic fractional linear system is approximately controllable in every [s, b], 0 ≤ s < b. An example is provided to illustrate the application of the obtained results.
