BEZANDRY, TOKA DIAGANA Abstract. In this paper we use the well-known Schauder fixed point principle to obtain the existence of square-mean almost periodic solutions to some classes of nonautonomous second order stochastic differential equations on a Hilbert space. 1. Introduction Let B be a Banach space. In Goldstein and N’Guérékata [30], the existence of almost automorphic solutions to the evolution u0 (t) = Au(t) + F (t, u(t)), t∈R where A : D(A) ⊂ B → B is a closed linear operator on a Banach space B which generates an exponentially stable C0 -semigroup T = (T (t))t≥0 and the function F : R × B → B is given by F (t, u) = P (t)Q(u) with P , Q being some appropriate continuous functions satisfying some additional conditions, was established. The main tools used in [30] are fractional powers of operators and the fixed-point theorem of Schauder. Recently Diagana [20] generalized the results of [30] to the nonautonomous case by obtaining the existence of almost automorphic mild solutions to u0 (t) = A(t)u(t) + f (t, u(t)), t∈R (1.1) where A(t) for t ∈ R is a family of closed linear operators with domains D(A(t)) satisfying Acquistapace-Terreni conditions, and the function f : R × B 7→ B is almost automorphic in t ∈ R uniformly in the second variable. For that, Diagana utilized similar techniques as in [30], dichotomy tools, and the Schauder fixed point theorem. Let H be a Hilbert space. Motivated by the above mentioned papers, the present paper is aimed at utilizing Schauder fixed point theorem to study the existence of p-th mean almost periodic solutions to the nonautonomous stochastic differential equations dX(t) = A(t)X(t) dt + F1 (t, X(t)) dt + F2 (t, X(t)) dW(t), 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 34K14, 60H10, 35B15, 34F05.

BEZANDRY, T. DIAGANA EJDE-2010/124 where (A(t))t∈R is a family of densely defined closed linear operators satisfying Acquistapace and Terreni conditions, the functions F1 : R × Lp (Ω, H) → Lp (Ω, H) and F2 : R×Lp (Ω, H) → Lp (Ω, L02 ) are jointly continuous satisfying some additional conditions, and W is a Wiener process. Then, we utilize our main results to study the existence of square-mean almost periodic solutions to the second order stochastic differential equations dX 0 (ω, t) + a(t) dX(ω, t) h i = − b(t) AX(ω, t) + f1 (t, X(ω, t)) dt (1.3) +f2 (t, X(ω, t)) dW(ω, t), for all ω ∈ Ω and t ∈ R, where A : D(A) ⊂ H → H is a self-adjoint linear operator whose spectrum consists of isolated eigenvalues 0 < λ1 < λ2 < · · · < λn → ∞ with each eigenvalue having a finite multiplicity γj equals to the multiplicity of the corresponding eigenspace, the functions a, b : R → (0, ∞) are almost periodic functions, and the function fi (i = 1, 2) : R × L2 (Ω, H) → L2 (Ω, H) are jointly continuous functions satisfying some additional conditions and W is a one dimensional Brownian motion. It should be mentioned the existence of almost periodic to (1.2) in the case when A(t) is periodic, that is, A(t + T ) = A(t) for each t ∈ R for some T > 0 was established by Da Prato and Tudor in [17]. In the paper by Bezandry and Diagana [9], upon assuming that the operators A(t) satisfy Acquistapace-Terreni conditions and that Fi (i = 1, 2, 3,) satisfy Lipschitz conditions, the Banach fixed point principle was utilized to obtain the existence of a square-mean almost periodic solutions to (1.2). In this paper is goes back to utilizing Schauder fixed theorem to establish the existence of p-th mean almost periodic solutions to (1.2). Next, we make extensive use of those abstract results to deal with the existence of squaremean almost periodic solutions to the second-order stochastic differential equations formulated in (1.3). 2. Preliminaries In this section, A : D(A) ⊂ H → H stands for a self-adjoint linear operator whose spectrum consists of isolated eigenvalues 0 < λ1 < λ2 < · · · < λn → ∞ with each eigenvalue having a finite multiplicity γj equals to the multiplicity of the corresponding eigenspace. Let {ekj } be a (complete) orthonormal sequence of eigenvectors associated with the eigenvalues {λj }j≥1 . Clearly, for each ∞ n o X u ∈ D(A) := x ∈ H : λ2j kEj xk2 < ∞ , j=1 Ax = ∞ X j=1 γj λj X hx, ekj iekj = ∞ X λ j Ej x j=1 k=1 Pγj where Ej x = k=1 hx, ekj iekj . Note that {Ej }j≥1 is a sequence of orthogonal projections on H. Moreover, each x ∈ H can written as follows: ∞ X x= Ej x. j=1 EJDE-2010/124 SQUARE-MEAN ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS 3 It should also be mentioned that the operator −A is the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup {T (t)}t≥0 , which is explicitly expressed in terms of those orthogonal projections Ej by, for all x ∈ H, T (t)x = ∞ X e−λj t Ej x. j=1 r In addition, the fractional powers A (r ≥ 0) of A exist and are given by ∞ n o X 2 D(Ar ) = x ∈ H : λ2r kE xk < ∞ j j j=1 and Ar x = ∞ X λ2r j Ej x, ∀x ∈ D(Ar ). j=1 Let B, k · k be a Banach space. If L is a linear operator on the Banach space B, then D(L), ρ(L), σ(L), N (L), N (L), and R(L) stand respectively for the domain, resolvent, spectrum, null space, and the range of L. also, we set R(λ, L) := (λI − L)−1 for all λ ∈ ρ(L). If P is a projection, we then set Q = I − P . If B1 , B2 are Banach spaces, then the space B(B1 , B2 ) denotes the collection of all bounded linear operators from B1 into B2 equipped with its natural topology. This is simply denoted by B(B1 ) when B1 = B2 . 2.1. Evolution Families. Let B be a Banach space equipped with the norm k · k. The family of closed linear operators A(t) for t ∈ R on B with domain D(A(t)) (possibly not densely defined) is said to satisfy Acquistapace-Terreni conditions if: π there exist constants ω ≥ 0, θ ∈ 2 , π , K, L ≥ 0 and µ, ν ∈ (0, 1] with µ + ν > 1 such that K Sθ ∪ {0} ⊂ ρ A(t) − ω 3 λ, kR λ, A(t) − ω k ≤ (2.1) 1 + |λ| and i h k A(t) − ω R λ, A(t) − ω R ω, A(t) − R ω, A(s) k ≤ L|t − s|µ |λ|−ν (2.2) for t, s ∈ R, λ ∈ Sθ := λ ∈ C \ {0} : | arg λ| ≤ θ . It should mentioned that the conditions (2.1) and (2.2) were introduced in the literature by Acquistapace and Terreni in [2, 3] for ω = 0. Among other things, it ensures that there exists a unique evolution family U = U (t, s) on B associated with A(t) satisfying (a) (b) (c) (d) U (t, s)U (s, r) = U (t, r); U (t, t) = I for t ≥ s ≥ r in R; (t, s) 7→ U (t, s) ∈ B(B) is continuous for t > s; U (·, s) ∈ C 1 ((s, ∞), B(B)), ∂U ∂t (t, s) = A(t)U (t, s) and kA(t)k U (t, s)k ≤ K (t − s)−k (2.3) for 0 < t − s ≤ 1, k = 0, 1; and (e) ∂s+ U (t, s)x = −U (t, s)A(s)x for t > s and x ∈ D(A(s)) with A(s)x ∈ D(A(s)). 4 P. H. BEZANDRY, T. DIAGANA EJDE-2010/124 It should also be mentioned that the above-mentioned properties were mainly established in [1, Theorem 2.3] and [50, Theorem 2.1], see also [3, 49]. In that case we say that A(·) generates the evolution family U (·, ·). One says that an evolution family U has an exponential dichotomy (or is hyperbolic) if there are projections P (t) (t ∈ R) that are uniformly bounded and strongly continuous in t and constants δ > 0 and N ≥ 1 such that (f) U (t, s)P (s) = P (t)U (t, s); (g) the restriction UQ (t, s) : Q(s)B → Q(t)B of U (t, s) is invertible (we then eQ (s, t) := UQ (t, s)−1 ); and set U eQ (s, t)Q(t)k ≤ N e−δ(t−s) for t ≥ s and (h) kU (t, s)P (s)k ≤ N e−δ(t−s) and kU t, s ∈ R. This setting requires some estimates related to U (t, s). For that, we introduce the interpolation spaces for A(t). We refer the reader to the following excellent books [29], and [38] for proofs and further information on theses interpolation spaces. Let A be a sectorial operator on B (for that, in (2.1)-(2.2), replace A(t) with A) and let α ∈ (0, 1). Define the real interpolation space n o A α BA α := x ∈ B : kxkα := sup kr (A − ω)R(r, A − ω)xk < ∞ , r>0 which, by the way, is a Banach space when endowed with the norm k · kA α . For convenience we further write BA 0 := B, kxkA 0 := kxk, BA 1 := D(A) and kxkA 1 := k(ω − A)xk. Moreover, let B̂A := D(A) of B. In particular, we have the following continuous embedding α A A D(A) ,→ BA (2.4) β ,→ D((ω − A) ) ,→ Bα ,→ B̂ ,→ B, for all 0 < α < β < 1, where the fractional powers are defined in the usual way. In general, D(A) is not dense in the spaces BA α and B. However, we have the following continuous injection k·kA α BA β → D(A) (2.5) for 0 < α < β < 1. Given the family of linear operators A(t) for t ∈ R, satisfying (2.1)-(2.2), we set Btα := BA(t) , α B̂t := B̂A(t) for 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 and t ∈ R, with the corresponding norms. Then the embedding in (2.4) holds with constants independent of t ∈ R. These interpolation spaces are of class Jα [38, Definition 1.1.1 ] and hence there is a constant c(α) such that kyktα ≤ c(α)kyk1−α kA(t)ykα , y ∈ D(A(t)). (2.6) We have the following fundamental estimates for the evolution family U (t, s). Proposition 2.1. [7] Suppose the evolution family U = U (t, s) has exponential dichotomy. For x ∈ B, 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 and t > s, the following hold: (i) There is a constant c(α), such that δ kU (t, s)P (s)xktα ≤ c(α)e− 2 (t−s) (t − s)−α kxk. (2.7) EJDE-2010/124 SQUARE-MEAN ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS 5 (ii) There is a constant m(α), such that eQ (s, t)Q(t)xksα ≤ m(α)e−δ(t−s) kxk. kU (2.8) We need the following technical lemma. Lemma 2.2 ([20, 21, Diagana]). For each x ∈ B, suppose that the family of operators A(t) (t ∈ R) satisfy Acquistapce-Terreni conditions, assumption (H.2) holds, and that there exist real numbers µ, α, β such that 0 ≤ µ < α < β < 1 with 2α > µ + 1. Then there is a constant r(µ, α) > 0 such that δ kA(t)U (t, s)xkα ≤ r(µ, α)e− 4 (t−s) (t − s)−α kxk. (2.9) for all t > s. Proof. Let x ∈ B. First of all, note that kA(t)U (t, s)kB(B,Bα ) ≤ K(t − s)−(1−α) for all t, s such that 0 < t − s ≤ 1 and α ∈ [0, 1]. Letting t − s ≥ 1 and using (H2) and the above-mentioned approximate, we obtain kA(t)U (t, s)xkα = kA(t)U (t, t − 1)U (t − 1, s)xkα ≤ kA(t)U (t, t − 1)kB(B,Bα ) kU (t − 1, s)xk ≤ M Keδ e−δ(t−s) kxk = K1 e−δ(t−s) kxk δ 3δ = K1 e− 4 (t−s) (t − s)α (t − s)−α e− 4 (t−s) kxk. 3δ Now since e− 4 (t−s) (t − s)α → 0 as t → ∞ it follows that there exists c4 (α) > 0 such that δ kA(t)U (t, s)xkα ≤ c4 (α)(t − s)−α e− 4 (t−s) kxk. Now, let 0 < t − s ≤ 1. Using (2.7) and the fact 2α > µ + 1, we obtain t+s t+s )U ( , s)xkα 2 2 t+s t+s )kB(B,Bα ) kU ( , s)xk ≤ kA(t)U (t, 2 2 t+s t+s ≤ k1 kA(t)U (t, )kB(B,Bα ) kU ( , s)xkµ 2 2 t − s −µ δ t − s α−1 c(µ) e− 4 (t−s) kxk ≤ k1 K 2 2 δ ≤ c5 (α, µ)(t − s)α−1−µ e− 4 (t−s) kxk kA(t)U (t, s)xkα = kA(t)U (t, δ ≤ c5 (α, µ)(t − s)−α e− 4 (t−s) kxk. Therefore there exists r(α, µ) > 0 such that δ kA(t)U (t, s)xkα ≤ r(α, µ)(t − s)−α e− 4 (t−s) kxk for all t, s ∈ R with t ≥ s. It should be mentioned that if U (t, s) is exponentially stable, then P (t) = I and Q(t) = I − P (t) = 0 for all t ∈ R. In that case, (2.7) still holds and be rewritten as follows: for all x ∈ B, δ kU (t, s)xktα ≤ c(α)e− 2 (t−s) (t − s)−α kxk. (2.10) 6 P. H. BEZANDRY, T. DIAGANA EJDE-2010/124 2.2. Wiener process and P -th mean almost periodic stochastic processes. For details of this subsection, we refer the reader to Bezandry and Diagana [9], Corduneanu [14], and the references therein. Throughout this paper, H and K will denote real separable Hilbert spaces with respective norms k · k and k · kK . Let (Ω, F, P) be a complete probability space. We denote by L2 (K, H) the space of all Hilbert-Schmidt operators acting between K and H equipped with the HilbertSchmidt norm k · k2 . For a symmetric nonnegative operator Q ∈ L2 (K, H) with finite trace we assume that {W(t), t ∈ R} is a Q-Wiener process defined on (Ω, F, P) and with values in K. Recall that W can obtained as follows: let {Wi (t), t ∈ R}, i = 1, 2, be independent K-valued Q-Wiener processes, then ( W1 (t) if t ≥ 0 W(t) = W2 (−t) if t ≤ 0 is Q-Wiener process with R as time parameter. We let Ft = σ{W(s), s ≤ t}. Let p ≥ 2. The collection of all strongly measurable, p-th integrable H-valued random variables, denoted by Lp (Ω, H), is a Banach space equipped with norm kXkLp (Ω,H) = (EkXkp )1/p , where the expectation E is defined by Z E[g] = g(ω)dP(ω) . Ω 1 2 Let K0 = Q K and L02 = L2 (K0 , H) with respect to the norm 1 kΦk2L0 = kΦ Q 2 k22 = Tr(ΦQΦ∗ ) . 2 Definition 2.3. A stochastic process X : R → Lp (Ω; B) is said to be continuous whenever lim EkX(t) − X(s)kp = 0. t→s Definition 2.4. A stochastic process X : R → Lp (Ω; B) is said to be stochastically bounded whenever n o lim sup P kX(t)k > N = 0. N →∞ t∈R Definition 2.5. A continuous stochastic process X : R → Lp (Ω; B) is said to be p-th mean almost periodic if for each ε > 0 there exists l(ε) > 0 such that any interval of length l(ε) contains at least a number τ for which sup EkX(t + τ ) − X(t)kp < ε . (2.11) t∈R A continuous stochastic process X, which is 2-nd mean almost periodic will be called square-mean almost periodic. Like for classical almost periodic functions, the number τ will be called an εtranslation of X. The collection of all p-th mean almost periodic stochastic processes X : R → Lp (Ω; B) will be denoted by AP (R; Lp (Ω; B)). The next lemma provides with some properties of p-th mean almost periodic processes. Lemma 2.6. If X belongs to AP (R; Lp (Ω; B)), then EJDE-2010/124 SQUARE-MEAN ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS 7 (i) the mapping t → EkX(t)kp is uniformly continuous; (ii) there exists a constant M > 0 such that EkX(t)kp ≤ M , for each t ∈ R; (iii) X is stochastically bounded. Lemma 2.7. AP (R; Lp (Ω; B)) ⊂ BU C(R; Lp (Ω; B)) is a closed subspace. In view of Lemma 2.7, it follows that the space AP (R; Lp (Ω; B)) of p-th mean almost periodic processes equipped with the sup norm k · k∞ is a Banach space. Let B1 , k · k1 and B2 , k · k2 be Banach spaces and let Lp (Ω; B1 ) and Lp (Ω; B2 ) be their corresponding Lp -spaces, respectively. Definition 2.8. A function F : R × Lp (Ω; B1 ) → Lp (Ω; B2 )), (t, Y ) 7→ F (t, Y ), which is jointly continuous, is said to be p-th mean almost periodic in t ∈ R uniformly in Y ∈ K where K ⊂ Lp (Ω; B1 ) is a compact if for any ε > 0, there exists lε (K) > 0 such that any interval of length lε (K) contains at least a number τ for which sup EkF (t + τ, Y ) − F (t, Y )kp2 < ε t∈R for each stochastic process Y : R → K. We have the following composition result. Theorem 2.9. Let F : R × Lp (Ω; B1 ) → Lp (Ω; B2 ), (t, Y ) 7→ F (t, Y ) be a p-th mean almost periodic process in t ∈ R uniformly in Y ∈ K, where K ⊂ Lp (Ω; B1 ) is any compact subset. Suppose that F (t, ·) is uniformly continuous on bounded subsets K 0 ⊂ Lp (Ω; B1 ) in the following sense: for all ε > 0 there exists δε > 0 such that X, Y ∈ K 0 and EkX − Y kp1 < δε , then EkF (t, Y ) − F (t, Z)kp2 < ε, ∀t ∈ R. Then for any p-th mean almost periodic process Φ : R → Lp (Ω; B1 ), the stochastic process t 7→ F (t, Φ(t)) is p-th mean almost periodic. 3. Main Results In this section, we study the existence of p-th mean almost periodic solutions to the class of nonautonomous stochastic differential equations of type (1.2) where (A(t))t∈R is a family of closed linear operators on Lp (Ω; H) satisfying (2.1)-(2.2), and the functions F1 : R × Lp (Ω, H) → Lp (Ω, H), F2 : R × Lp (Ω, H) → Lp (Ω, L02 ) are p-th mean almost periodic in t ∈ R uniformly in the second variable, and W is Q-Wiener process taking its values in K with the real number line as time parameter. Our method for investigating the existence and uniqueness of a p-th mean almost periodic solution to (1.2) consists of making extensive use of ideas and techniques utilized in [30], [21], and the Schauder fixed-point theorem. To study the existence of p-th mean almost periodic solutions to (1.2), we suppose that the following assumptions hold: (H1) The injection Hα ,→ H is compact. (H2) The family of operators A(t) satisfy Acquistapace-Terreni conditions and the evolution family U (t, s) associated with A(t) is exponentially stable; that is, there exist constant M , δ > 0 such that kU (t, s)k ≤ M e−δ(t−s) for all t ≥ s. 8 P.

(H4) R(ζ, A(·)) ∈ AP (R, Lp (Ω; H)). (H5) The function F1 : R × Lp (Ω, H) → Lp (Ω, H) is p-th mean almost periodic in the first variable uniformly in the second variable. Furthermore, X → F1 (t, X) is uniformly continuous on any bounded subset O of Lp (Ω, H) for each t ∈ R.

Furthermore, X → F2 (t, X) is uniformly continuous on any bounded subset O0 of Lp (Ω, H) for each t ∈ R. Finally, sup EkF2 (t, X)kp ≤ M2 kXk∞ lim r→∞ t∈R + where M2 : R → R+ is a continuous function satisfying lim M2 (r)/r = r→∞ 0.

Under assumptions (H2)–(H6), the mappings Γi : BC(R, Lp (Ω, H)) → BC(R, Lp (Ω, Hα )) (i = 1, 2) are well defined and continuous. Proof. We first show that Γi BC R, Lp (Ω, H) ⊂ BC R, Lp (Ω, Hα ) (i = 1, 2). Let us start with Γ1 X.

For p > 2, we need the following estimates. Lemma 3.2. Let p > 2, 0 < α < 1, α + p1 < ξ < 1/2, and Ψ : Ω × R → L02 be an (Ft )-adapted measurable stochastic process such that sup EkΨ(t)kpL0 < ∞ . 2 t∈R Then Rt (i) Ek −∞ (t − s)−ξ U (t, s)Ψ(s) dW(s)kp ≤ s(Γ, ξ, δ, p) supt∈R EkΨ(t)kpL0 ; 2 Rt (ii) Ek −∞ U (t, s)Ψ(s) dW(s)kpα ≤ k(Γ, α, ξ, δ, p) supt∈R EkΨ(t)kpL0 2 where s(Γ, ξ, δ, p) and k(Γ, α, ξ, δ, p) are positive constants with Γ a classical Gamma function.

The proof of the above lemma follows the same lines as that of Lemma 3.4, and hence it is omitted. Similarly, the next lemma is a consequence of [30, Proposition 3.3]. Note in this context that X = Lp (Ω, H) and Y = Lp (Ω, Hα ). Lemma 3.7. For 0 < γ < α, BC γ (R, Lp (Ω, Hα )) is compactly contained in BC(R, Lp (Ω, H)); that is, the canonical injection id : BC γ (R, Lp (Ω, Hα )) ,→ BC(R, Lp (Ω, H)) is compact, which yields id : BC γ (R, Lp (Ω, Hα )) ∩ AP (R, Lp (Ω, H)) → AP (R, Lp (Ω, H)) is also compact. The next theorem is the main result of Section 3 and is a nondeterministic counterpart of the main result in Diagana [21]. Theorem 3.8. Suppose assumptions (H1)–(H6) hold, then the nonautonomous differential equation Equation (1.2) has at least one p-th mean almost periodic solution. Proof. Let us recall that in view of Lemmas 3.7 and 3.3, we have k Γ1 + Γ2 Xkα,∞ ≤ d(β, δ) M1 kXk∞ + M2 kXk∞ and Ek Γ1 + Γ2 X(t2 ) − Γ1 + Γ2 X(t1 )kpα γ ≤ s(α, β, δ) M1 kXk∞ + M2 kXk∞ t2 − t1 for all X ∈ BC(R, Lp (Ω, Hα )), t1 , t2 ∈ R with t1 6= t2 , where d(β, δ) and s(α, β, δ) are positive constants. Consequently, X ∈ BC(R, Lp (Ω, H)) and kXk∞ < R yield (Γ1 + Γ2 )X ∈ BC γ (R, Lp (Ω, Hα )) and k Γ1 + Γ2 Xkpα,∞ < R1 where R1 = c(α, β, δ) M1 (R) + M2 (R) . since M(R)/R → 0 as R → ∞, and since EkXkp ≤ cEkXkpα for all X ∈ Lp (Ω, Hα ), it follows that exists an r > 0 such that for all R ≥ r, the following hold Γ1 + Γ2 BAP (R,Lp (Ω,H)) (0, R) ⊂ BBC γ (R,Lp (Ω,Hα )) ∩ BAP (R,Lp (Ω,H)) (0, R) . In view of the above, it follows that Γ1 + Γ2 : D → D is continuous and compact, where D is the ball in AP (R, Lp (Ω, H)) of radius R with R ≥ r. Using the Schauder fixed point it follows that Γ1 + Γ2 has a fixed point, which is obviously a p-th mean almost periodic mild solution to (1.2). 4. Square-mean almost periodic solutions to some second order stochastic differential equations In this section we study and obtain under some reasonable assumptions, the existence of square-mean almost periodic solutions to some classes of nonautonomous second-order stochastic differential equations of type (1.3) on a Hilbert space H using Schauder’s fixed-point theorem. For that, the main idea consists of rewriting (1.3) as a nonautonomous first-order differential equation on H × H involving the family of 2×2-operator matrices L(t). EJDE-2010/124 SQUARE-MEAN ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS Indeed, setting Z := 19 X , Equation (1.3) can be rewritten in the Hilbert space dX(t) H × H in the form dZ(ω, t) = [L(t)Z(ω, t) + F1 (t, Z(ω, t))] dt + F2 (t, Z(ω, t))dW(ω, t), (4.1) where t ∈ R, L(t) is the family of 2 × 2-operator matrices defined on H = H × H by 0 IH L(t) = (4.2) −b(t)A −a(t)IH whose domain D = D(L(t)) is constant in t ∈ R and is given by D(L(t)) = D(A) × H. Moreover, the semilinear term Fi (i = 1, 2) appearing in (4.1) is defined on R × Hα for some α ∈ (0, 1) by 0 Fi (t, Z) = , fi (t, X) where Hα = H̃α× H withH̃α is the real interpolation space between B and D(A) given by H̃α := H, D(A) . α,∞ First of all, note that for 0 < α < β < 1, then L2 (Ω, Hβ ) ,→ L2 (Ω, Hα ) ,→ L2 (Ω; H) are continuously embedded and hence therefore exist constants k1 > 0, k(α) > 0 such that EkZk2 ≤ k1 EkZk2α EkZk2α ≤ k(α)EkZk2β for each Z ∈ L2 (Ω, Hα ), for each Z ∈ L2 (Ω, Hβ ). To study the existence of square-mean solutions of (4.1), in addition to (H1) we adopt the following assumptions. (H7) Let fi (i = 1, 2) : R × L2 (Ω; H) → L2 (Ω; H) be square-mean almost periodic. Furthermore, X 7→ fi (t, X) is uniformly continuous on any bounded subset K of L2 (Ω; H) for each t ∈ R. Finally, sup Ekfi (t, X)k2 ≤ Mi kXk∞ t∈R + where Mi : R → R+ is continuous function satisfying Mi (r) = 0. r→∞ r Under the above assumptions, it will be shown that the linear operator matrices L(t) satisfy the well-known Acquistapace-Terreni conditions, which does guarantee the existence of an evolution family U(t, s) associated with it. Moreover, it will be shown that U(t, s) is exponentially stable under those assumptions. lim 4.1. Square-Mean Almost Periodic Solutions. To analyze (4.1), our strategy consists in studying the existence of square-mean almost periodic solutions to the corresponding class of stochastic differential equations of the form dZ(t) = [L(t)Z(t) + F1 (t, Z(t))]dt + F2 (t, Z(t))dW(t) 2 (4.3) 2 for all t ∈ R, where the operators L(t) : D(L(t)) ⊂ L (Ω, H) → L (Ω, H) satisfy Acquistapace-Terreni conditions, Fi (i = 1, 2) as before, and W is a one-dimensional Brownian motion. 20 P.

DIAGANA EJDE-2010/124 Note that each Z ∈ L2 (Ω, H) can be written in terms of the sequence of orthogonal projections En as γn ∞ X ∞ X X X= hX, ekn iekn = En X. n=1 k=1 n=1 Moreover, for each X ∈ D(A), AX = ∞ X λj j=1 γj X hX, ekj iekj = ∞ X λj Ej X. j=1 k=1 X ∈ D(L) = D(A) × L2 (Ω, H), we obtain Y 0 IL2 (Ω,H) X L(t)Z = −b(t)A −a(t)IL2 (Ω,H) Y P∞ Y En Y P n=1 P = = ∞ ∞ −b(t)AX − a(t)Y −b(t) n=1 λn En X − a(t) n=1 En Y ∞ X 0 1 En 0 X = −b(t)λn −a(t) 0 En Y Therefore, for all Z := = n=1 ∞ X An (t)Pn Z, n=1 where Pn := and En 0 0 , En n ≥ 1, 0 1 , −b(t)λn −a(t) Now, the characteristic equation for An (t) is An (t) := n ≥ 1. λ2 + a(t)λ + λn b(t) = 0 (4.4) 2 with discriminant ∆n (t) = a (t) − 4λn b(t) for all t ∈ R. We assume that there exists δ0 , γ0 > 0 such that inf a(t) > 2δ0 > 0, t∈R inf b(t) > γ0 > 0. t∈R (4.5) From (4.5) it easily follows that all the roots of (4.4) are nonzero (with nonzero real parts) given by p p −a(t) − ∆n (t) −a(t) + ∆n (t) n n , λ2 (t) = ; λ1 (t) = 2 2 that is, n o σ(An (t)) = λn1 (t), λn2 (t) . In view of the above, it is easy to see that there exist γ0 ≥ 0 and θ ∈ π2 , π such that Sθ ∪ {0} ⊂ ρ (L(t) − γ0 I) for each t ∈ R where n o Sθ = z ∈ C \ {0} : arg z ≤ θ . EJDE-2010/124 SQUARE-MEAN ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS 21 On the other hand, one can show without difficulty that An (t) = Kn−1 (t)Jn (t)Kn (t), where n λ1 (t) 0 1 1 Jn (t) = , K (t) = n 0 λn2 (t) λn1 (t) λn2 (t) and Kn−1 (t) 1 = n λ1 (t) − λn2 (t) −λn2 (t) 1 . λn1 (t) −1 For λ ∈ Sθ and Z ∈ L2 (Ω, H), one has R(λ, L)Z = = ∞ X (λ − An (t))−1 Pn Z n=1 ∞ X Kn (t)(λ − Jn (t)Pn )−1 Kn−1 (t)Pn Z. n=1 Hence, EkR(λ, L)Zk2 ≤ ≤ ∞ X n=1 ∞ X kKn (t)Pn (λ − Jn (t)Pn )−1 Kn−1 (t)Pn k2B(H) EkPn Zk2 kKn (t)Pn k2B(H) k(λ − Jn (t)Pn )−1 k2B(H) kKn−1 (t)Pn k2B(H) EkPn Zk2 . n=1 Moreover, for Z := Z1 Z2 ∈ L2 (Ω, H), we obtain EkKn (t)Pn Zk2 = EkEn Z1 + En Z2 k2 + Ekλn1 En Z1 + λn2 En Z2 k2 2 ≤ 3 1 + λ1n (t) EkZk2 . Thus, there exists C1 > 0 such that EkKn (t)Pn Zk2 ≤ C1 λ1n (t)EkZk2 for all n ≥ 1. Z1 Similarly, for Z := ∈ L2 (Ω, H), one can show that there is C2 > 0 such that Z2 C2 EkKn−1 (t)Pn Zk2 ≤ 1 EkZk2 λn (t) for all n ≥ 1. Now, for Z ∈ L2 (Ω, H), we have −1 Ek(λ − Jn (t)Pn ) Zk = E 2 ≤ 1 λ−λ1n (t) 0 0 1 λ−λ2n ! Z1 2 Z2 1 1 EkZ1 k2 + EkZ2 k2 . |λ − λ1n (t)|2 |λ − λ2n (t)|2 Let λ0 > 0. Define the function ηt (λ) := 1 + |λ| . |λ − λ2n (t)| It is clear that ηt is continuous and bounded on the closed set Σ := {λ ∈ C : |λ| ≤ λ0 , | arg λ| ≤ θ}. 22 P. H. BEZANDRY, T. DIAGANA EJDE-2010/124 On the other hand, it is clear that η is bounded for |λ| > λ0 . Thus η is bounded on Sθ . If we take 1 + |λ| N = sup : λ ∈ Sθ , n ≥ 1, j = 1, 2, . j |λ − λn (t)| Therefore, N Ek(λ − Jn (t)Pn )−1 Zk2 ≤ EkZk2 , λ ∈ Sθ . 1 + |λ| Consequently, K kR(λ, L(t))k ≤ 1 + |λ| for all λ ∈ Sθ . First of all, note that the domain D = D(L(t)) is independent of t. Now note that the operator L(t) is invertible with −a(t)b−1 (t)A−1 −b−1 (t)A−1 −1 L(t) = , t ∈ R. IH 0 Hence, for t, s, r ∈ R, computing L(t) − L(s) L(r)−1 and assuming that there exist La , Lb ≥ 0 and µ ∈ (0, 1] such that a(t) − a(s) ≤ La t − sµ , b(t) − b(s) ≤ Lb t − sµ , (4.6) it easily follows that there exists C > 0 such that 2µ Ek(L(t) − L(s))L(r)−1 Zk2 ≤ C t − s EkZk2 . In summary, the family of operators L(t) t∈R satisfy Acquistpace-Terreni conditions. Consequently, there exists an evolution family U (t, s) associated with it. Let us now check that U (t, s) has exponential dichotomy. First of all note that For every t ∈ R, the family of linear operators L(t) generate an analytic semigroup (eτ L(t) )τ ≥0 on L2 (Ω, H) given by eτ L(t) Z = ∞ X Kl (t)−1 Pl eτ Jl Pl Kl (t)Pl Z, Z ∈ L2 (Ω, H). l=1 On the other hand, Ekeτ L(t) Zk2 = ∞ X kKl (t)−1 Pl k2B(H) keτ Jl Pl k2B(H) kKl (t)Pl k2B(H) EkPl Zk2 , l=1 with for each Z = Z1 , Z2 τ Jl Eke ρl1 τ e El Pl Zk = 0 0 2 ! l eρ2 τ El l Z1 2 Z2 l ≤ Ekeρ1 τ El Z1 k2 + Ekeρ2 τ El Z2 k2 ≤ e−2δ0 τ EkZk2 . Therefore, keτ L(t) k ≤ Ce−δ0 τ , Using the continuity of a, b and the equality τ ≥ 0. R(λ, L(t)) − R(λ, L(s)) = R(λ, L(t))(L(t) − L(s))R(λ, L(s)), (4.7) EJDE-2010/124 SQUARE-MEAN ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS 23 it follows that the mapping J 3 t 7→ R(λ, L(t)) is strongly continuous for λ ∈ Sω where J ⊂ R is an arbitrary compact interval. Therefore, L(t) satisfies the assumptions of [42, Corollary 2.3], and thus the evolution family (U (t, s))t≥s is exponentially stable. It remains to verify that R(γ0 , L(·)) ∈ AP (R, B(L2 (Ω; H))). For that we need to show that L−1 (·) ∈ AP (R, B(L2 (Ω, H))). Since t → a(t), t → b(t), and t → b(t)−1 are almost periodic it follows that t → d(t) = − a(t) b(t) is almost periodic, too. So for all ε > 0 there exists l(ε) > 0 such that every interval of length l(ε) contains a τ such that 1 ε 1 ε √ , d(t + τ ) − d(t) < √ < − b(t + τ ) b(t) kA−1 k 2 kA−1 k 2 for all t ∈ R. Clearly, kL−1 (t + τ ) − L−1 (t)k ≤ 2 1/2 −1 1 1 2 kA kB(H) + d(t + τ ) − d(t) − b(t + τ ) b(t) <ε and hence t → L−1 (t) is almost periodic with respect to L2 (Ω, H)-operator topology. Therefore, R(γ0 , L(·)) ∈ AP (R, B(L2 (Ω; H))). To study the existence of square-mean almost periodic solutions of (4.3), we use the general results obtained in Section 3. Definition 4.1. A continuous random function, Z : R → L2 (Ω; H) is said to be a bounded solution of (4.3) on R provided that Z t Z t Z(t) = U (t, s)F1 (s, Z(s)) ds + U (t, s)P (s) F2 (s, Z(s)) dW(s) s s for each t ≥ s and for all t, s ∈ R. Remark 4.2. Note that it follows from (H7) that Fi (i = 1, 2) : R × L2 (Ω; H) → L2 (Ω; H) is square-mean almost periodic. Furthermore, Z 7→ Fi (t, Z) is uniformly continuous on any bounded subset K of L2 (Ω; H) for each t ∈ R. Finally, sup EkFi (t, Z)k2 ≤ Mi kZk∞ t∈R where Mi : R+ → R+ is continuous function satisfying lim r→∞ Mi (r) = 0. r Theorem 4.3. Suppose assumptions (H1), (H3), (H7) hold, then the nonautonomous differential equation (4.3) has at least one square-mean almost periodic solution. In view of Remark 4.2, the proof of the above theorem follows along the same lines as that of Theorem 3.8 and hence it is omitted. Acknowledgments.
