tlooto Summary

Fractional h-difference equations and their solutions are explored using calculus of variations tools.

Abstract

The recent theory of fractional h-difference equations introduced in [N.R.O. Bastos, R. A. C. Ferreira, D. F. M. Torres: Discrete-time fractional variational problems, Signal Process. 91 (2011), no. 3, 513{524], is enriched with useful tools for the explicit solution of discrete equations involving left and right fractional difference operators. New results for the right fractional h sum are proved. Illustrative examples show the effectiveness of the obtained results in solving fractional discrete Euler{Lagrange equations.
