Initial Value Problems in Discrete Fractional Calculus

چکیده
This paper is devoted to the study of discrete fractional calculus; the particular goal is to define and solve well-defined discrete fractional difference equations. For this purpose we first carefully develop the commutativity properties of the fractional sum and the fractional difference operators. Then a ν-th (0 < ν ≤ 1) order fractional difference equation is defined. A nonlinear problem with an initial condition is solved and the corresponding linear problem with constant coefficients is solved as an example. Further, the half-order linear problem with constant coefficients is solved with a method of undetermined coefficients and with a transform method.

We introduce discrete fractional sum equations and inequalities. We obtain the equivalence of an initial value problem for a discrete fractional equation and a discrete fractional sum equation. Then we give an explicit solution to the linear discrete fractional sum equation. This allows us to state and prove an analogue of Gronwall's inequality on discrete fractional calculus. We employ a nabla...
