On existence of certain delta fractional difference models

Abstract

The discretization of initial and boundary value problems and their existence behaviors are of great significance in various fields. This paper explores the existence of a class of self-adjoint delta fractional difference equations. The study begins by demonstrating the uniqueness of an initial value problem of delta Riemann–Liouville fractional operator type. Based on this result, the uniqueness of the self-adjoint equation will be examined and determined. Next, we define the Cauchy function based on the delta Riemann–Liouville fractional differences. Accordingly, the solution of the self-adjoint equation will be investigated according to the delta Cauchy function. Furthermore, the research investigates the uniqueness of the self-adjoint equation including the component of Green’s functions of and examines how this equation has only a trivial solution. To validate the theoretical analysis, specific examples are conducted to support and verify our results
