In time intervals without impulses, the nonlinear terms
,
, and
explicitly depend on the fast-time-scale
. It is difficult to study such highly oscillatory equations directly. Therefore, we give an equivalent slow-time-scale equation for Equation (
1) by the time-scale separation method and establish an approximate solution to the equivalent form by the averaging principle.
The advantages of the averaging principle lie in replacing complicated differential equations with simple averaged equations under appropriate conditions and significantly reducing analytical and computational complexity. The stochastic averaging principle originated in Khasminskii’s foundational work [
5]. Subsequently, various classes of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) were studied by this principle, including stochastic evolution equations [
6,
7,
8], fractional SDEs [
9,
10,
11,
12], and SDEs with fractional Brownian motion [
13,
14,
15,
16].
Despite these developments, the averaging principle for non-instantaneous impulsive fractional SDEs remains unresolved. Most existing literature has focused on the qualitative properties of instantaneous impulsive SDEs, such as the uniqueness of solutions [
17,
18,
19,
20], the averaging principle [
21,
22,
23], and the exponential stability [
24,
25]. In contrast, studying non-instantaneous impulsive fractional SDEs has become increasingly important in real-world applications, such as biology, engineering, and medicine. Although Balasubramaniam [
26] established the existence of solutions for such equations, exact solutions are generally unavailable due to their non-linearity and memory effects. Consequently, constructing approximate solutions for such equations is necessary.
The key challenges mainly arise from the discontinuity induced by the non-instantaneous impulse term and the rigorous quantification of convergence rates between solutions of the equivalent and averaged equations.
Our main contributions are as follows.
This paper is organized as follows. In
Section 2, the theoretical basis is introduced. In
Section 3, the mean square convergence and the order of convergence by the averaging principle are given. Finally, in
Section 4, the corresponding numerical simulation results are provided.

2)’s equivalent integral form is given by
Remark 1. In contrast to Equation (
1)
, Equation (
2)
exhibits a slow time-scale property, which facilitates the investigation of its long-term dynamical behavior and enables a more accurate estimation of the approximate solution. 3. Averaging Principle
This section establishes the mean square convergence between the solution of Equation (
2) and its averaged counterpart and determines the convergence order.
Traditionally, the averaging principle typically considers averaging over entire time intervals, making it unsuitable for handling equations with discontinuous right-hand-side functions. Therefore, we impose the following conditions. For notational convenience, the norm in the Hilbert space is denoted by .
Let
. There exists
, such that for any

We associate Equation (
2) with the following averaged form
where the functions
are specified in

By Lemma 1, the equivalent integral form of Equation (
2) is as follows
where
. The definitions of
and
are the same as Lemma 1.
Lemma 4 ( see [
26])
. Assume that conditions – hold, and then Equation (
2)
has a unique solution , and . Lemma 5. Assume that conditions – hold, Equation (
3)
admits a unique solution , and . Proof. We need to prove

satisfy conditions
and
as in Equation (
2). For
, according to condition
, we have
Since

satisfies condition
. We can repeat the procedure above to check
and
. It is clear that Equation (
3) satisfies condition
. Thus, we complete the proof. □
Now, our main result is presented as follows.
Theorem 1. Assume that conditions – hold. Then, for any given sufficiently small number , there exists a constant , such that for any and , we have Proof. To deal with the discontinuity caused by the non-instantaneous impulse term, we divide the whole interval into three parts and consider the convergence on each interval separately.
Part 1. For

2) and (
3), we get
where
According to condition

From Hölder’s inequality, Lemma 2, condition
and (
5), we have
where
By Hölder’s inequality, Lemma 2, ([
27], Theorem 7.3, p. 40), conditions
and
, we obtain
where
By Lemma 2, ([
26], Lemma 2.1), conditions
and
, we find
where
Plugging (
6), (
7), and (
8) into (
4), we obtain the following estimation
where
Applying Gronwall’s inequality, we derive
By choosing appropriate parameters

10) is equivalent to
Consequently, for any given number

2) and (
3), and condition

Part 3. Considering

2) and (
3), we obtain
where
For

, we have
where
.
Analogous to

as follows
Similar to the estimations in (
7) and (
8), we have
and
By substituting (
14)–(
17) into (
13), we have
Applying Gronwall’s inequality, we derive
By choosing appropriate parameters
and
, there exists
, such that for any

. Then, inequality (
19) can be written as
Hence, for any given number
, we can select
to obtain
where
.
By (
10), (
12), and (
19), for any given sufficiently small number
, there exists a constant
such that for any
and
, we have
This completes the proof of Theorem 1. □
Finally, we analyze the convergence rate between the solutions of Equations (
2) and (
3) and give the convergence order.
Combining (
11) and (
20), let
, we have
This implies that the solutions converge in the mean square sense with , where the convergence order depends on the fractional order .
4. Example
In this section, we present a numerical example to validate the efficacy of our theoretical findings through the following Hilfer fractional stochastic evolution equations

In this context, the averaged forms of coefficient functions are defined as follows
Therefore, the averaged equation for the original Equation (
21) can be expressed as
Then, it can be easily verified that the original Equation (
21) and averaged Equation (
22) satisfy conditions
–
. According to Theorem 1, we compare the error
between the solution
of Equation (
21) and the solution
of Equation (
22) for

Figure 2.
As , we conclude that the solutions and are close in the mean square sense.
5. Conclusions
In this paper, we proposed a new equivalent form of Equation (
1) through Lemma 3. The equivalent equation facilitates the construction of approximate solutions. Compared with existing literature, our work extends the applicability of averaging principles to fractional SDEs with discontinuous right-hand-side functions. Additionally, we prove that the convergence order between solutions is
, which is related to the fractional order. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical results. For future research, these results can be extended to higher-dimensional systems with multiplicative noise and stochastic control problems involving non-smooth dynamics.
