Fractional differential equations can effectively describe complex systems that many integer differential equations cannot. As a result, fractional differential equations are widely used in the field of science, and many scholars around the world have taken an interest in studying them [
1,
2,
3]. Moreover, Hilfer fractional derivatives encompass Caputo and Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives as special cases, which has led some scholars to concentrate on Hilfer fractional differential equations in their research [

8].
Random disturbances are commonplace in many real-life scenarios. Stochastic differential equations can solve option pricing problems in the field of economics, and can be used for escape and jump problems of Brownian particles in the field of physics, among other applications. As a result, stochastic differential equations are widely employed in diverse scientific fields, including economics, chemistry, physics and social sciences. The existence, uniqueness, stability and controllability of solutions for fractional stochastic differential equations are very important. To this end, researchers have established mild solutions for various classes of stochastic evolution equations. Specifically, Refs. [
9,
10,
11] demonstrated the existence of mild solutions for a class of Caputo fractional stochastic evolution equations with order
. Refs. [
12,
13] established the existence of mild solutions for a class of stochastic evolution equations with Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives. Additionally, refs. [
14,
15] proved the existence of mild solutions for a class of stochastic evolution equations with Hilfer fractional derivatives

While numerous research results have been conducted on fractional stochastic differential equations with order and type , no research has been conducted on Hilfer fractional stochastic differential equations with order and type . To address this gap, this paper introduces a novel concept of mild solutions for Hilfer fractional evolution equations with order and type , which is based on the cosine family.
To provide a clear structure for this article, we have divided it into several sections. In
Section 2, we introduce some basic facts that are needed for our analysis. In
Section 3, we prove some lemmas, and make certain assumptions. In
Section 4, we verify the existence problem of Equation (
1) based on the proved lemma and some new methods. In
Section 5, we provide an example, to verify the validity of our results. Finally, a summary of this thesis is provided in
Section 6.
