Abstract For stochastic evolution equations with fractional derivatives, classical solutions exist when the order of the time derivative of the unknown function is not too small compared to the order of the time derivative of the noise; otherwise, there can be a generalized solution in suitable weighted chaos spaces. Presence of fractional derivatives in both time and space leads to various modifications of the stochastic parabolicity condition. Interesting new effects appear when the order of the time derivative in the noise term is less than or equal to one-half.

The Riemann–Liouville derivative can be considered as a true extension of the usual derivative to fractional orders. For example, a function does not have to be continuously differentiable to have Riemann–Liouville derivatives of order β < 1 [20]. On the other hand, the Caputo derivative is more convenient in initial-value problems, with no need for fractional-order initial conditions [19, Section 2.4.1].

f (0+) = limt→0,t>0 f (t), seems to achieve the right balance between mathematical utility and physical relevance [8] and has been recently used in the study of large classes of stochastic partial differential equations [4,11]. Let w = w(t), t ≥ 0, be a standard Brownian motion on a stochastic basis (, F, {Ft }t≥0 , P) satisfying the usual conditions. The objective of this paper is to address fundamental questions about existence and regularity of solution for equations of the type β
