### The solution of a new Caputo-like fractional $h$-difference equation

#### Abstract

Consider the Caputo fractional $h$-difference equation $_a\Delta ^\nu _{h,*}x(t)=c(t)x(t+\nu ), \quad 0\lt \nu \lt 1,\ t\in (h\mathbb{N} )_{a+(1-\nu )h},$ where $_a\Delta ^\nu _{h,*}x(t)$ denotes the Caputo-like delta fractional $h$-difference of $x(t)$ on sets $(h\mathbb{N} )_{a+(1-\nu )h}$. Our main results are found in Theorems A and B in Section 1. In Section 3, we show that the proof of a recent result in Baleanu, Wu, Bai and Chen is incorrect. Finally, four numerical examples are given to illustrate the main results.
