Subject of the Monograph

The main subject of the monograph is the fractional calculus in the discrete version.

Structure of the Volume

The volume is divided into three main parts.

Part One

Contains a theoretical introduction to the classical and fractional-order discrete calculus where the fundamental role is played by the backward difference and sum.

Part Two

Selected applications of the discrete fractional calculus in discrete system control theory are presented. In the discrete system identification, analysis and synthesis, one can consider integer or fractional models based on the fractional-order difference equations.

Part Three

The third part of the book is devoted to digital image processing.
