Abstract:
This article studies a boundary value problem for a nonlinear Caputo nabla fractional difference equation. We obtain quadratic convergence results for this equation using the generalized quasi-linearization method. Further, we obtain the convergence of the sequences is potentially improved by the Gauss-Seidel method. A numerical example illustrates our main results.
