Fractional Discrete-Time Diffusion Equation With Uncertainty: Applications of Fuzzy Discrete Fractional Calculus

Abstract

This study provides some basics of fuzzy discrete fractional calculus as well as applications to fuzzy fractional discrete-time equations. With theories of r-cut set, fuzzy Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional differences are defined on a isolated time scale. Discrete Leibniz integral law is given by use of w-monotonicity conditions. Furthermore, equivalent fractional sum equations are established. Fuzzy discrete Mittag-Leffler functions are obtained by the Picard approximation. Finally, fractional discrete-time diffusion equations with uncertainty is investigated and exact solutions are expressed in form of two kinds of fuzzy discrete Mittag-Leffler functions. This paper suggests a discrete time tool for modeling discrete fractional systems with uncertainty. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
