By using the Caputo (C) fractional derivative and two recently defined alternative versions of this derivative, the Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) and the Atangana–Baleanu (AB) fractional derivative, firstly we focus on singular linear systems of fractional differential equations with constant coefficients that can be non-square matrices, or square & singular. We study existence of solutions and provide formulas for the case that there do exist solutions. Then, we study the existence of unique solution for given initial conditions. Several numerical examples are given to justify our theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this article is to provide a link between the solutions of an initial value problem of a linear singular system of fractional nabla difference equations, its proper dual system and its transposed dual system. By taking into consideration the case that the coefficients are square constant matrices with the leading coefficient singular, we study the prime system and by using the invariants of its pencil we give necessary and sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions. After we prove that by using the pencil of the prime system we can study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the proper dual system and the transposed dual system. Moreover their solutions, when they exist, can be explicitly represented without resorting to further processes of computations for each one separately. Finally, numerical examples are given based on a singular fractional nabla real dynamical system to justify our theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In this article we study the initial value problem of a class of non-homogeneous singular systems of fractional nabla difference equations whose coefficients are constant matrices. By taking into consideration the cases that the matrices are square with the leading coefficient singular, non-square and square with a matrix pencil which has an identically zero determinant, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions. More analytically we study the conditions under which the system has unique, infinite and no solutions. Furthermore, we provide a formula for the case of the unique solution. Finally, numerical examples are given to justify our theory. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
