1. Introduction
Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) have garnered significant attention due to their distinctive properties and successful application in resolving scientific and engineering problems. However, in many cases, stochastic differential systems depend not only on the current states but also on the past states, occasionally involving derivatives with delays (see Kolmanovskii and Myshkis [
1]). This characteristic renders fractional-order stochastic differential equations (FSDEs) highly valuable and has fueled extensive research into FSDE theory. The utilization of these equations extends across various fields such as mechanics, electricity, economics, and physics, among others. Recently, there has been a growing interest among researchers in studying the properties of solutions, including well-posedness and the controllability of FSDEs (see [
2,
3]).
In addition, stochastic dynamics primarily involve Gaussian noise. However, it is acknowledged that pure Gaussian noise is unsuitable for simulating certain practical phenomena due to the inevitability of internal or external interference. Non-Gaussian Lévy noise already encompasses these types of perturbations as it possesses the advantage of exhibiting a long-tailed distribution, thereby introducing time discontinuity in the sample path. Hence, its significance and necessity cannot be overstated. Numerous reports on SDEs with Lévy noise (see [
4,
5,
6]) have been published. For instance, Balasubramaniam [
7] discussed the existence of solutions for FSDEs of Hilfer-type with non-instantaneous impulses excited by mixed Brownian motion and Lévy noise. Using the successive approximation method, Xu et al. [
8] addressed the existence and uniqueness of solutions for SDEs driven by Lévy noise.
The averaging principle is commonly employed to approximate dynamical systems with random fluctuations, serving as a powerful tool for simplifying nonlinear dynamical systems. By studying relevant averaged systems instead, we are able to investigate the underlying complex dynamics of scientific and engineering problems. The initial literature on the average principle of SDEs was introduced by Khasminskii [
9], which subsequently garnered significant attention due to its ability to reduce computational complexity in the original system. For further details regarding the averaging principle for SDEs, refer to [

Furthermore, the Hilfer fractional derivative is a generalized fractional derivative that combines both the classical R-L fractional derivative and the Caputo fractional derivative as special cases. This highlights its significance in studying the averaging principle for Hilfer fractional stochastic differential systems. It is worth mentioning that Ahmed and Zhu [
29] were the first to investigate the theory of averaging principle for Hilfer fractional stochastic differential equations (HFSDEs) with delay and Lévy noise in
; however, their study did not consider evolution equations. Luo et al. [
30] examined the averaging principle for HFSDEs involving non-Lipschitz coefficients without considering Lévy noise. Shen et al. [
12] established the stochastic averaging method for FSDEs with variable delays driven by Lévy noise, but they did not involve Hilfer fractional derivatives.
The gap in existing literature lies in the fact that the averaging method for HFSDEs has only been considered in finite dimensional spaces. It is both natural and significantly essential to pose a significant question: Does some averaging principle for HFSEEs still hold in infinite-dimensional spaces? If it does hold, how can we establish the averaging principle? This serves as the motivation behind this paper.
Inspired by the aforementioned discussions, our objective in this work is to derive an averaging principle for a class of HFSEEs driven by Lévy noise. The theory of stochastic analysis, fractional calculus, semigroup properties, and inequality techniques are employed to obtain the desired results. The main contributions of this paper are as follows:
Diverging from the existing literature on the average principle for HFSDEs established in , we consider here the average principle of SEEs of Hilfer-type driven by Lévy noise in Hilbert spaces.
The existence, uniqueness, and average principle of the concerned system are established.
The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed results are verified through a numerical example.
We organized the structure of this paper as follows:
Section 2 provides a review of some fundamental preliminary facts. In
Section 3, we establish the existence and uniqueness theorem of mild solutions for a class of HFSEEs; based on this foundation, we derive the average principle for the concerned system. An illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the obtained theory in
Section 4. Finally, we conclude by providing a comprehensive overview of the findings in
Section 5.

4. Example
Consider the Hilfer fractional stochastic evolution equation below:
In the above, , are constants, we opt for the space . We define an operator A by with the domain being absolutely continuous, . Then A generates a strongly continuous semigroup which is compact, analytic, and self-adjoint. Additionally, A has a discrete spectrum, the eigenvalues are , with corresponding orthogonal eigenvectors . Then for each , and In particular, is a uniformly stable semigroup and For each and . The operator is presented by on the space . is a standard Brownian motion defined on the filtered probability space .
Then, one can easily verify that all conditions (H0)–(H4) in Theorem 2 are fulfilled. Hence, the averaged equation for Equation (
29) can be expressed as
Clearly, compared with the original Equation (
29), the time-averaged Equation (
30) is a much simpler equation. Furthermore, Theorem 2 ensures that their solutions possess a very small error.
5. Conclusions
This work derived an averaging principle for a class of Hilfer fractional stochastic evolution equations with Lévy noise. Compared with previous work, we take the Hilfer fractional derivative, evolution equations, and Lévy noise into account simultaneously. Thus, our proposed results extend the stochastic averaging method to Hilfer fractional differential equations. Moreover, since the Wiener process and fractional Brownian motion are very common in reality, it is significantly important for future research to investigate the averaging principle for HFSEEs driven by both the Wiener process and fractional Brownian motion (fBm). Moreover, it is possible for us to investigate the averaging principle of Hilfer fractional impulsive stochastic evolution equations driven by time-changed Lévy noise in forthcoming research.
