Abstract
This paper investigates the controllability of Hilfer fractional stochastic evolution equations (HFSEEs). Initially, we obtain a conclusion regarding the approximate controllability of HFSEEs by employing the Tikhonov-type regularization method and Schauder′s fixed-point theorem. Additionally, the conditions for the exact controllability of HFSEEs are explored, utilizing the Mönch′s fixed-point theorem and measure of noncompactness. Finally, the proposed method is validated through an example, thereby demonstrating its effectiveness.
1. Introduction
Control theory plays a vital role in mathematical exploration, serving as a foundation for system optimization and stability analysis [1,2,3]. In the past few years, numerous academics have conducted research on the controllability of diverse dynamical systems utilizing a range of methodologies [4,5,6,7,8]. Exact controllability means that the system can accurately reach the target state through deterministic control, while approximate controllability means that the system can approach the target state through appropriate random control. The control theory of stochastic differential equations plays an important role in risk management, stock trading, weather forecasting, disease control, etc., which can improve the quality and effectiveness of decision-making and reduce risks and costs [9,10,11].
Compared with integer derivatives, fractional derivatives have wider applicability, more complete descriptive power, better disclosure of non-local properties, and more mathematical and physical applications. Therefore, the control theory of fractional stochastic differential equations has been garnering increasing attention from researchers. In [12], Sakthivel et al. studied the approximate controllability of the Caputo FSEEs via the fixed point theorem. In [13], Shu et al. studied the approximate controllability of the Riemann–Liouville FSEEs with order by using the concepts related to sectorial operators and Mönch′s fixed point theorem. For further research on the approximate controllability of fractional differential equations, we recommend consulting [14,15,16,17,18]. Ding and Li in [19], studied the exact controllability of the Caputo FSEEs with order by using measure of noncompactness and Mönch′s fixed-point theorem. For research achievements related to the exact controllability of fractional differential equations, we recommend readers refer to [20,21,22].
The Hilfer fractional derivative can be regarded as a synthesis or extension of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative and the Caputo fractional derivative [23]. When studying Hilfer fractional systems, we face a problem: their equivalent integral equations make sense only on open intervals. This limits our analysis, especially when trying to use the fixed-point theorem and Ascoli-Arzelà theorem to study the properties of systems. It is worth noting that, compared with reference [24], the hypothesis conditions of this paper are weaker.
In order to avoid confusion, we will first introduce some basic notations and concepts. Let , , and be separable Hilbert spaces with norm . Moreover, is a complete probability space with normal filtration , where is a nonempty sample space, is a -algebra on , and is a probability measure defined on . The stochastic process is a -value Wiener process defined on . Moreover, this Wiener process has a nonnegative covariance operator with a finite trace, , where is orthogonal system satisfying .
We explore the HFSEEs:
In this equation, represents the Hilfer fractional derivative with order and type . The Riemann–Liouville integral operator with order , . is the infinitesimal generator of a cosine family consisting of strongly continuous and uniformly bounded linear operators. The stochastic process is a -value Wiener process defined on . The control function . is a bounded linear operator and . and are given. .
To ensure a clear structure, the paper is divided into several parts. Section 2 introduces fundamental information essential for our analysis. Following that, Section 3 presents an approximate controllability result for problem (1), while Section 4 provides an exact controllability result for the same problem. In Section 5, we validate the effectiveness of our findings with an example. Finally, Section 6 summarizes the content discussed throughout the paper.

So, has a fixed point that is equivalent to ’s fixed point.
3. Approximate Controllability
We introduce a controllability matrix:
and denote the adjoint of B and , respectively. According to Lemma 3, it becomes apparent that is linear and bounded.
Let . We define the control function as follows:

By Definition 8, we can establish that the system (1) is approximate controllability on the interval if and only if there exists , where represents the mild solution to system (1) corresponding to . To prove this, our initial step is to demonstrate the existence of a mild solution for system (1) under the condition .
Because , then, operator in (5) becomes
To demonstrate the approximate controllability outcome, the subsequent assumption is necessary:
- : is a compact semigroup and for any .
- : There exists a constant , such that

Next, we will establish several lemmas that are pertinent to main result.

Now, we divide this part of the proof into the following steps:
Step 1: is equicontinuous for .
From [30], we obtain that is equicontinuous. Next, we prove that is equicontinuous.
When , by Lemma 3, Lemma 8, (2), and Hölder′s inequality, we can obtain
When , by inequality, we can obtain
Now, we prove . By inequality, we have

Step 4: is completely continuous.
It is evident that problem (1) has a mild solution if and only if has a fixed-point . Based on Step 2 and Step 3, it can be concluded that the operator is continuous. It is clear that is completely continuous if is relatively compact in . From Step 1, is equicontinuous. According to the Ascoli-Azelà theorem, to prove that is completely continuous, we need to show that is relatively compact in for . However, it is clear that is relatively compact. Now, we will demonstrate that is relatively compact in for .

In order to prove that , we first need to establish that ,
Because for any and (7), we have
By utilizing Definition 5, we obtain
Considering , by utilizing and for any , we can deduce that

Taking into consideration and Lemma 7, simple calculation yields
From , it follows that there exist two subsequences, which we will still denote by and , and these subsequences weakly converge to and , respectively. Therefore
By using and the Lebesque dominated convergence theorem, it follows that
This proves that the system (1) is approximately controllable on the interval . □
4. Exact Controllability

To prove this, we only need to prove that system (1) has a mild solution when . Next, let us make some preparations for applying the Mönch′s fixed point theorem.
As , the operator in (5) becomes
From form , we have

By Lemma 3, Hölder′s inequality and assumption , , we have
□
Theorem 3.

Similar to Step 1, 2, and 3 in Theorem 1, by applying Lemma 9, we can verify that is equicontinuous, continuous, and that . Next, we will prove that satisfies Mönch′s condition. Suppose that and . Suppose that and . Then, we have for .
By Lemmas 2 and 3 and , we have
For any , by using Lemma 3 and (2), we can derive that
Thus, by (13), () and referring to [13], we have
Thus, we can obtain

Combined with the above calculations, we have
By , we can conclude that and that is relatively compact. According to the Mönch′s fixed point theorem, has at least one fixed point . This fixed point is a mild solution of the fractional stochastic control system (1) when the control function is taken as . Furthermore, it satisfies for any . Therefore, we can conclude that system (1) has exact controllability on . □
Theorem 4.

Based on [34], it can be deduced that is valid. Therefore, Theorem 3 implies that the problem (14) is exact controllability.
6. Conclusions
In this paper, we investigate the approximate and exact controllability for the HFSEEs. To accomplish this, we use stochastic analysis techniques, fractional calculus, measure of noncompactness and the fixed point theorem. Our findings indicate that the conditions for both approximate and exact controllability do not necessitate the Lipschitz condition being satisfied by and . Additionally, we demonstrate the exact controllability for both cases: when the semigroup is compact or noncompact.
