On a new class of fractional difference-sum operators with discrete Mittag-Leffler kernels

Abstract

We formulate a new class of fractional difference and sum operators, study their fundamental properties, and find their discrete Laplace transforms. The method depends on iterating the fractional sumoperators corresponding to fractional differenceswith discreteMittag-Leffler kernels. The iteration process depends on the binomial theorem. We note in particular the fact that the iterated fractional sums have a certain semigroup property, and hence, the new introduced iterated fractional difference-sum operators have this semigroup property as well.
