. We summarize the properties of a fractional Riesz-Bessel motion in the following corollary.Corollary 2.47. Let

.Proof. Assertion (i) follows from Theorem 2.11 and Corollary 2.12, (iii)-(v) are due to Theorem 2.18, (ii) is due to Corollary 2.19, while (vi)-(viii) are consequences of Theorem 2.21.
Figures 2.7 and 2.8 (see below) illustrate the quality of the estimates for the second moments E
[RB
βα(t)]
2 provided by Corollaries 2.12 and 2.13, respectively. The major observance is, that in every case an increasing parameterα
decelerates the growth of E[RBβα(t)]
2 and widens the shaded region. Although the lower bound seems not to be sharp for small values ofα
, it is a matter of fact, that it is approached by the concrete values ofE[RBβα(t)]
2 ast
tends to infinity. Conversely, the upper bound is meaningful for large values ofα

In order to illustrate the behavior of the paths of
RB
βα under a variation of the parameterα
we present Figures 2.9 – 2.12 below, generated with the aid of a simulation proposed by Anh et al. [1, Section 5.2]. As a turnout it can be seen, that intermittency effects amplifies with an increasing parameterα
. In addition, we see a smoothing effect as the noise profile becomes somehow “thinner”.Figure 2.9.A random path of a fractional Riesz-Bessel motion (left) and correspond-ing noise profile (right) with parametersβ= 0.7andα= 0.1.

The paths of a fractional Riesz-Bessel motion become less zigzagged as
β
goes from 12 to3
2. Such a smoothing effect can also be seen in Figures 2.1 - 2.3. For the choice
α + β >
32 a fractional Riesz-Bessel motion is moreover mean-square differentiable (cf. Anh & Nguyen [10, Proposition 9]). This feature is depicted with the subsequent figure.Figure 2.12.

Parabolic Volterra equations
Aim of this chapter is to study different types of parabolic Volterra equations with random disturbances. Our plan is to present the main result first. Throughout this chapter
H
is a separable Hilbert space andQ
1/2X
is subject to Hypothesis (X
φ)(see page 49). Thus we have seen in Section 2.6 that the following results will in particular cover the cases, where the disturbance is modeled to be a centered Lévy process, a fractional Brownian motionB

, such thatRB
ησ is centered.3.1 Main results
Let
A
be a closed linear densely defined operator inH
, andb ∈ L
1(
R+)
a scalar kernel. Let us consider the problemu(t) +
Z t0
b(t − τ )Au(τ )dτ = Q
1/2X (t), t ≥ 0
(3.1) in the Hilbert spaceH
. In particular we recall that Hypothesis(X
φ)forces the existence of a sequence(ν
n)
n∈N∈ `
1(
R+)
and an orthonormal basis(e
n)
n∈N⊂ H
, such thatQe
n= ν
ne
nfor everyn ∈
N.Because problem (3.1) is motivated from applications of linear viscoelastic material behav-ior, we consider the operator
−A
to be an elliptic differential operator like the Laplacian, the elasticity operator, or the Stokes operator, together with appropriate boundary conditions (e.g. Prüss [88, Section I.5]). We formulate abstractlyHypothesis (
A
).A
is an unbounded, self-adjoint, positive definite operator inH
with compact resolvent. Consequently, the eigenvaluesµ
n ofA
form a strictly positive, nonde-creasing sequence withlim
n→∞µ
n= ∞
, the corresponding eigenvectors(a
n)
n∈N⊂ H
form63
an orthonormal basis of
H
.Observe, that Hypothesis(
A
)implies the sectoriality of the operatorA
with angleφ
A= 0
(cf.[34, Section 1]). This observation allows us to define complex powers
A
z for arbitraryz ∈
C; cf. [88, Section 8.1].The kernel
b
is supposed to be the antiderivative of a 3-monotone scalar function (see Definition 1.8); more preciselyb
is subject toHypothesis (
b
): The kernelb
is of the formb(t) = b

(3.3)In case(
A
)and(b
)are valid, problem (3.1) is well-posed and parabolic; for kernels subject to (3.2), condition (3.3) is in fact equivalent to parabolicity. Typical examples of kernels arising from the theory of linear viscoelasticity (cf. [88, Section I.5]), which satisfy Hypothesis (b
) are the material functions of Newtonian fluids (b

,b
1≡ 0
), Maxwell fluids (b

) and of power type materials (b

). Defineρ := 2 π sup

o,
then we obtain the subsequent existence and regularity results for the mild solution of (3.1).
Theorem 3.1. Let Hypotheses(
A
),(b
)and(X
φ)are valid.(i) If
QA
1−γ
ρ
∈
L1(H)
, then the mild solutionu
of (3.1) exists and is mean-square continuous onR+. Moreover, the trajectories ofu
are continuous on the half-lineR+almost surely.(ii) If in addition, there is
θ ∈ (0,
γ−12)
such thatQA
1−γ ρ +2θρ
∈
L1(H)
, then the trajectories ofu
are locally Hölder-continuous of any order strictly less thenθ
almost surely.In advantage to [25] we do not require that the eigensystems of the operators
A
andQ
has to coincide, that is ifa
n= e
n for alln ∈
N. If, as in our situation, the eigensystems ofA
andQ
can be arbitrary orthonormal bases ofH
it is meaningful to say, that the perturbationQ
1/2X
is “system independent”. On the other hand we will say, that the perturbationQ
1/2X
is “A
-synchronized” if the eigensystems ofA
andQ
coincide. Regarding existence and reg-ularity it is easily seen from Theorem 3.1 and Theorem 3.5 (see below) that the results are independent from the choice of the eigensystems.Remark 3.2. The case
b ≡ const
merely corresponds to the stochastic differential equation (u ˙ + Au = Q
1/2X ˙ , t > 0,
u(0) = 0.
It is then obvious that Theorem 3.1 applies with
ρ = 1
. Moreover, the notions of strong and mild solutions in the sense of Definition 1.3 are equivalent in all the cases whereb ≡ const
. Example 3.3. LetH = L
2(0, π)
and consideru(t) + (b ∗ Au) (t) = Q
1/2B
H(t), t ≥ 0,

N. Theorem 3.1 yields that for everyφ
b-sectorial kernelb
withφ
b∈ [
π2, π)
(this corresponds toρ ∈ [1, 2)
) the mild solutionu
of (3.4) exists and that its trajectories are Hölder-continuous of any order strictly less thanH.An interesting occurs if it is assumed that
Q = I
, i.e. for allx ∈ H
it isQx = x
, so thatQ
1/2B
H= B
H is only a cylindrical fractional Brownian motion.Example 3.4. Assume the setting of Example 3.3, but let
Q = I
. Then the mild solutionu
of (3.4) exists for everyφ
b-sectorial kernelb
withφ
b∈ [
π2, min{2πm
H; π})
. Moreover its trajec-tories are Hölder-continuous of any orderθ < H −
4πm2φb. Note that in this caseθ
depends on the sectoriality-angleφ
band the exponentm
. Highly regular kernelsb
(this corresponds toφ
b nearπ
) cause a loss in time regularity, while an increasing exponentm
improves Hölderianity.Let us take up a different viewpoint to Volterra equations with fractional noise. We consider the problems

A
)is valid and0 < α < 2
, problem (3.5) is well-posed and parabolic.Theorem 3.5. Assume Hypotheses(
A
)and(X
φ)are valid and letα ∈ (0, 2)
,β > 0
,θ ∈ [0, 1]
, such thatβ ∈ (
3−γ2+ θ,
3−γ2+ θ + α)
.(i) If
QA
3−2β−γα∈
L1(H)
, then the mild solutionu
of (3.5) exists and is mean-square contin-uous onR+. Moreover, the trajectories ofu
are almost surely continuous onR+.(ii) If
QA
3−2β−γα +2θα∈
L1(H)
, then the trajectories ofu
are locally Hölder-continuous of any order strictly less thenθ
almost surely.On the first view Theorem 3.1 seems to be a variant of Theorem 3.5 for the case
β = 1
and more general kernels. However, Hypothesis(b
)is too stringent as to countenance standard kernelsg
αwithα < 1
.Remark 3.6. Note that
1. if one chooses
X
to be a vector-valued centered Lévy process, then the above results hold withγ = 2
.2. if one chooses
X = B
H to be a vector-valued fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter0 <
H< 1
the above results hold withγ = 2
H+ 1
.3. if one chooses
X = RB
ησ to be a vector-valued fractional Riesz-Bessel motion with parameters 12< η <
32 andσ ≥ 0
, then the above results hold true for everyγ ∈ [2η, 2(σ + η)] ∩ [2η, 3)
.4. in case
X = B
H withH=
12, that is a vector-valued Wiener process, Theorem 3.5 cap-tures the setting of Clément et al. [25, Theorem 4.2]. However, our approach elevates the upper bound for the feasibleβ
from 12+α
to 12+α +θ
. This is due to the fact, that we estimated the scalar kernelsr
nin terms of theirH ˙
θ2-norms, instead of theirH
θ2-norms.Example 3.7. Let
H = L

hence Theorem 3.5 applies independently from the choice of
