Abstract
In this paper, we present a systematic study concerning the developments of the oscillation results for the fractional difference equations. Essential preliminaries on discrete fractional calculus are stated prior to giving the main results. Oscillation results are presented in a subsequent order and for different types of equations. The investigation was carried out within the delta and nabla operators.
Highlights
Over many years, the process of describing natural or real-life phenomena has been carried out using the integer-order differential equations
The factors involved in the phenomena are very complicated and of different natures, all of which cannot be incorporated by the ordinary differential equations
The rapid growth and inspiration of fractional calculus have been greatly due to anticipation of the memory and hereditary features that are incorporated in many phenomena by the so-called fractional differential operators [1–3]
Summary
The process of describing natural or real-life phenomena has been carried out using the integer-order differential equations. The factors involved in the phenomena are very complicated and of different natures, all of which cannot be incorporated by the ordinary differential equations. This gap in the construction of the models is covered up by arbitrary-order calculus. The insufficient geometrical and unsatisfactory physical interpretation of the arbitrary-order derivatives has slowed down the progress of the field. It was in the 20th Century with the development of high-speed computers and computational techniques that researchers began to understand the importance and the meaningful representation to construct and apply a certain type of nonlocal operator to real-life problems. The rapid growth and inspiration of fractional calculus have been greatly due to anticipation of the memory and hereditary features that are incorporated in many phenomena by the so-called fractional differential operators [1–3]
