Mahmudov, N. I.; McKibben, M. A. Approximate controllability of second-order neutral stochastic evolution equations. (English) Zbl 1121.34082 Dyn. Contin. Discrete Impuls. Syst., Ser. B, Appl. Algorithms 13, No. 5, 619-634 (2006). The authors consider the following problem, \[ d[x'(t)-f_1(t,x(t))]=[Ax(t)+Bu(t)+f_2(t,x(t))]\,dt+g(t,x(t)\,dW(t), \;\;t\in [0,T], \]\[ x(0)=\xi,\;x'(0)=\varsigma, \]in a real separable Hilbert space \(H\), \(A: D(A)\subset H\to H\) is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine family on \(H,\) \(W\) is a \(K\)-valued Wiener process with incremental covariance given by the nuclear operator \(Q\) defined on a complete probability space \((\Omega,{\mathcal F}, P)\) equipped with a normal filtration \(({\mathcal F}_t)_{t\geq0},\) \(f_i: [0,T]\times H\to H,\;i=1,2\) and \(g: [0,T]\times H\to L_2(Q^{1/2}K,H),\) where \(K\) is another separable Hilbert space and \( L_2(Q^{1/2}K,H)\) be the space of all Hilbert-Schmidt operators from \( Q^{1/2}K\) to \(H,\) \(u\) is an appropriate control function and \(\xi\), \(\varsigma\) are \({\mathcal F}_0\)-measurable \(H\)-value random variable independent of \(W.\) By using suitable fixed point theorems the authors prove the approximate and weak approximate controllability of mild solution for second order neutral stochastic evolution equations.
