Abstract: We study a time-fractional stochastic heat inclusion driven by additive time-space Brownian and Levy white noise. The fractional time derivative is interpreted as the Caputo derivative of order α ∈ (0, 2). We show the following:

a) If a solution exists, then it is a fixed point of a specific set-valued map.

b) Conversely, any fixed point of this map is a solution of the heat inclusion.

c) Finally, we show that there is at least one fixed point of this map, thereby proving that there is at least one solution of the time-fractional stochastic heat inclusion.

A solution Y (t, x) is called mild if E[Y 2(t, x)] < ∞ for all t, x. We show that the solution is mild if α = 1 & d = 1, or α ≥ 1 & d ∈ {1, 2}.

On the other hand, if α < 1 we show that the solution is not mild for any space dimension d.

Biography: Bernt Karsten Øksendal is a Norwegian mathematician with several years of teaching and research in stochastic analysis. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Oslo in 1970, and obtained his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1971. In 1991, he was appointed a Professor at the University of Oslo. In 1992, he was appointed an Adjunct Professor at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Bergen, Norway. In 2017, he was appointed an Honorary Doctor at the Norwegian School of Economics.

Between 1992 and 1996, he held a research position as VISTA Professor, appointed by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in cooperation with Den Norske Stats Oljeselskap a.s. (Statoil). In 1996, he was elected as a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, and in the same year he won the Nansen Prize for his research in stochastic analysis and its applications. In 2002, he was elected as a member of the Royal Norwegian Science Society. In 2014, he was awarded the University of Oslo Research Prize for excellent research. He has also been chair or coordinator of many research grants and international research programmes (in both Europe and Africa) over the years.
