Title: Asymptotic stability for Hilfer-like nabla nonlinear fractional difference equations Authors: Anshul Sharma (Institute of Engineering and Tech., Uttar Pradesh, India) Suyash Narayan Mishra (Institute of Engineering and Tech., Uttar Pradesh, India) Anurag Shukla (Rajkiya Engineering College, Uttar Pradesh, India) Abstract: This article examines the asymptotic stability of nonlinear fractional difference equations with a Hilfer-like nabla operator. The results for a Hilfer-type nabla fractional difference that contains Riemann-Liouville and Caputo nabla difference as a particular case. We use Picard's iteration and a fixed point theorem to obtain results on existence and uniqueness. To obtain the main results, we use linear a scalar fractional difference equality, discrete comparison principle, and basics of difference equations. We also present a Lyapunov second direct method for nonlinear discrete fractional systems. We also discus stability results with some numerical examples. Published August 20, 2024.
