Maximal regularity for fractional difference equations with finite delay on UMD space

Abstract

In this paper, we study the $\ell^p$-maximal regularity for the fractional difference equation with finite delay: \begin{equation*} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left\{\begin{array}{cc} \Delta^{\alpha}u(n)=Au(n)+\gamma u(n-\lambda)+f(n), \ n\in \mathbb N_0, \lambda \in \mathbb N, \gamma \in \mathbb R; u(i)=0,\ \ i=-\lambda, -\lambda+1,\cdots, 1, 2, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $A$ is a bounded linear operator defined on a Banach space $X$, $f:\mathbb N_0\rightarrow X$ is an $X$-valued sequence and $2<\alpha<3$. We introduce an operator theoretical method based on the notion of $\alpha$-resolvent sequence of bounded linear operators, which gives an explicit representation of solution. Further, using Blunck's operator-valued Fourier multipliers theorems on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}; X)$, we completely characterize the $\ell^p$-maximal regularity of solution when $1 < p < \infty$ and $X$ is a UMD space.
