Abstract

In this article, we define a fractional forward discrete operator. Then, for a family of linear nonautonomous fractional difference equations constructed by using this fractional discrete operator, we provide a practical formula of solutions. This family of problems covers several linear fractional difference equations that appear in the literature. Numerical examples are given to justify our theory.
