Abstract
In this article, we study the existence and uniqueness results for a separate nonlinear Caputo fractional sum-difference equation with fractional difference boundary conditions by using the Banach contraction principle and the Schauder’s fixed point theorem. Our problem contains two nonlinear functions involving fractional difference and fractional sum. Moreover, our problem contains different orders in n + 1 fractional differences and m + 1 fractional sums. Finally, we present an illustrative example.
Highlights
Fractional calculus has recently been an attractive field to researchers because it is a powerful tool for explaining many engineering and scientific disciplines as the mathematical modeling of systems and processes which appear in nature, for example, ecology, biology, chemistry, physics, mechanics, networks, flow in porous media, electrical, control systems, viscoelasticity, mathematical biology, fitting of experimental data, and so forth
In 2017, Sumelka and Voyiadjis [4] proposed a concept of short memory connected with the definition of damage parameter evolution in terms of fractional calculus for hyperelastic materials
