Abstract

In this manuscript we propose the discrete versions for the recently introduced fractional derivatives with nonsingular Mittag-Leffler function. The properties of such fractional differences are studied and the discrete integration by parts formulas are proved. Then a discrete variational problem is considered with an illustrative example. Finally, some more tools for these derivatives and their discrete versions have been obtained.

Highlights

  • 1 Introduction and preliminaries Fractional calculus has become an important mathematical tool used in several branches of science and engineering in order to describe better the properties of non-local complex systems [ – ]

  • Finding the discrete counterparts of these new fractional operators is an important step to apply them to model the dynamics of complex systems

  • For the rest of this section, we summarize some facts as regards the discrete Laplace transform of Mittag-Leffler type and convolution type functions

Summary

Proof t

Lemma Let f be a function defined on Na. The following result holds: Na∇ f (t) (z) = z(Naf )(z) – ( – z)af (a). For the following lemma we will present an alternative proof without using convolutions as was done in [ ]. The result follows by Lemma with a = and (∇ –( –α)f )( ) =. Remark Lemma can be generalized as follows. NaC∇aαf (z) = zα(Naf )(z) – ( – z)azα– f (a). This can be proved by making use of Remark. Lemma [ ] Let < α ≤ and f be defined on N. Since dividing by balls of Gamma function leads to zero, we have ∇Eα(λ, t) =
