1 Introduction
Stochastic Burgers equation (SBE) plays an important role in the modeling of many phenomena in different fields, such as fluid dynamics, nonlinear acoustics, hydrodynamics, cosmology, astrophysics and statistical physics, and so on. In the last decade, SBE has gained a great development in both theory and application and a large volume of literature is available on this subject (see e.g.[1-4] and references therein). It is particularly mentioned that when the Laplacian operator in SBE is replaced by fractional derivative, which can be used to describe anomalous diffusion processes in fractal flow and acoustic waves propagation in porous media [6,22,23]. Sugimoto [5] have studied the generalized Burgers-type equation with a fractal power of Laplacian in the principal part, which described the unidirectional propagation of acoustic waves through a gas-filled tube with a boundary layer. Besides, the space-fractional SBE also can be used to study the acoustic waves propagation in tunnels during the passage of the trains, which may yield a memory effect and other types of resonance phenomena [6]. On the other hand, time-fractional differential equations are found to be quite effective in modelling anomalous diffusion processes as its can characterize the long memory processes [14-16,21,24]. Hence, Burgers equation with time-fractional can be adapted to describe the memory effect of the wall friction through the boundary layer [7]. Furthermore, the analytical solutions of the time- and space-fractional Burgers equations have been investigated by variational iteration method [7] and Adomian decomposition method [8].
In this study, we focus on the following generalized SBE with time-space fractional derivative on a bounded domain :
[TABLE]
subject to the initial condition:
[TABLE]
and the Dirichlet boundary conditions:
[TABLE]
in which the term describes a state dependent random noise, where is a -adapted Wiener process defined on a completed probability space with the expectation , and associate with the normal filtration ; The operator stands for the fractional power of the Laplacian (see [25]); We denote by the Caputo derivative of order , which is defined by (see [9])
[TABLE]
where stands for the gamma function .
Eq.(1.1) might be used to model anomalous diffusion processes in disordered media, and describe the acoustic wave propagation in porous media with memory effect and with random effects. Notice that the study of space-fractional SBE can be found in some literatures. For details, Brzeźniak and Debbi [10] proved existence and uniqueness of a mild global solution to the Cauchy problem for the stochastic fractional Burgers equation. Brzeźniak et al.[6] studied the ergodic properties of the solution for space-fractional SBE. Yang [11] proposed some estimates on the solution of space-fractional SBE and given the invariant measure. Lv and Duan [12] investigated the existence of martingale solutions and weak solutions for space-fractional SBE on a bounded domain. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no existing works for the time- and space-fractional SBE, which is a fascinating and useful problem.
The main contribution of this paper is to establish the existence, uniqueness, and regularity properties of mild solution to time-space fractional SBE driven by multiplicative noise, which generalizes many previous works [6,11,12]. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we will introduce some notations and preliminaries, which play a crucial role in our theorem analysis. In Section 3, the existence and uniqueness of mild solution to the problems of time-space fractional SBE are obtained by stochastic analysis techniques, fractional calculus and semigroup theory. Finally, the spatial and temporal regularity properties of mild solution to this time-space fractional SBE are proved.
2 Notations and preliminaries

For , making use of the above expression, the Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.3, we can arrive at
[TABLE]
and

[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
This completes the proof.
3 Existence and uniqueness of mild solution
Our main purpose of this section is to prove the existence and uniqueness of mild solution to the problem (2.1). To do this, the following assumptions are imposed.
Assumption 3.1. The measurable function satisfies the following global Lipschitz and growth conditions:
[TABLE]
for any .
Assumption 3.2. Let be a real number, then the bounded bilinear operator satisfies the following properties:
[TABLE]

Theorem 3.1. Let Assumptions 3.1 to 3.3 be satisfied for some , then there exists a unique mild solution in the space with .
Proof. We fix an and use the standard Picard’s iteration argument to prove the existence of mild solution. To begin with, the sequence of stochastic process is constructed as
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
The proof will be split into three steps.
Step 1: For each , we show that
[TABLE]
Note that
[TABLE]
The application of the Lemma 2.1 gives
[TABLE]
Applying the following Hölder inequality to the second term of the right-hand side of (3.7)
[TABLE]
where , we infer
[TABLE]
where .
Making use of the Hölder inequality and Lemma 2.2 to the third term of the right-hand side of (3.7), we get
[TABLE]
where .
Using the above estimates (3.7)-(3.10), we have
[TABLE]
By means of the extension of Gronwall’s lemma, it holds that
[TABLE]
for each .
Step 2: Show that the sequence is a Cauchy sequence in the space .
For any , applying the similar arguments employed to obtain (3.9) and (3.10), we get
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
A direct application of Gronwall’s lemma yields
[TABLE]
As a result, the sequence is a Cauchy sequence in the space . Further, there exists a such that
[TABLE]
for all .
Taking limits to the stochastic sequence in (3.5) as , we finish the proof of the existence of mild solution to (2.1).
Step 3: We show the uniqueness of mild solution.
Assume and are two mild solutions of the problem (2.1), using the similar calculations as in Step 2, we can obtain
[TABLE]
for all , which implies that , it follows that the uniqueness of mild solution.
Obviously, when , the above three steps still work. Thus the proof of Theorem 3.1 is completed.
4 Regularity of mild solution
In this section, we will prove the spatial and temporal regularity properties of mild solution to time-space fractional SBE based on the analytic semigroup.
Theorem 4.1. Let Assumptions 3.1 to 3.3 hold with and , let be a unique mild solution of the problem (2.1) with for any , then there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
Proof. For any and , we have
[TABLE]
Using Theorem 2.1, the first term can be estimated by
[TABLE]
It is easy to know that
[TABLE]
The application of Theorem 2.1 and Assumptions 3.2, we get
[TABLE]
where .
By means of Theorem 2.1, Assumptions 3.1 and Lemma 2.2, we can deduce
[TABLE]
where .
Thus, we conclude the proof of Theorem 4.1 by combining with the estimates (4.2)-(4.6).
Next, we will devote to the temporal regularity of the mild solution.
Theorem 4.2. Let Assumptions 3.1 to 3.3 be fulfilled with and , for any , the unique mild solution to the problem (2.1) is Hölder continuous with respect to the norm and satisfies
[TABLE]
Proof. For any , from the mild solution (2.4), we have
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
For any and , by virtue of Theorem 2.2, it follows that
[TABLE]
For the first term in (4.9), applying the Assumptions 3.2 and Theorem 2.2 and Hölder’s inequality, we have
[TABLE]
Using the Assumptions 3.2, Theorem 2.1 and Hölder’s inequality, we get
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Next, by following the similar arguments as in the proof of (4.12)-(4.14) and using the Lemma 2.2, there holds
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Taking expectation on the both side of (4.8), and in view of the estimates (4.11)-(4.17), we conclude that
[TABLE]
in which we take when . Otherwise, if , then we set .
This completes the proof of Theorem 4.2.

We introduce the following one-sided stable probability density function:
[TABLE]
whose Laplace transform is given by
[TABLE]
Making use of above expression (A4), then the terms on the right-hand side of (A2) can be written as
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
Together with (A2) and (A5)-(A7) helps us to get
[TABLE]
Now, by means of inverse Laplace transform to (A8), we have achieved that
[TABLE]
