Enhancing the Mathematical Theory of Nabla Tempered Fractional Calculus: Several Useful Equations

Abstract

Although many applications of fractional calculus have been reported in literature, modeling the physical world using this technique is still a challenge. One of the main difficulties in solving this problem is that the long memory property is necessary, whereas the infinite memory is undesirable. To address this challenge, a new type of nabla fractional calculus with a weight function is formulated, which combines the benefits of nabla fractional calculus and its tempered counterpart, making it highly valuable for modeling practical systems. However, many properties of this calculus are still unclear and need to be discovered. Therefore, this paper gives particular emphasis to the topic, developing some remarkable properties, i.e., the equivalence relation, the nabla Taylor formula, and the nabla Laplace transform of such nabla tempered fractional calculus. All the developed properties greatly enrich the mathematical theory of nabla tempered fractional calculus and provide high value and potential for further applications.
