We provide a characterization for the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the space of vector-valued sequences p (Z, X) for the multiterm fractional delayed model in the form Δ u(n) + Δ u(n) = Au(n) + u(n −) + (n), n ∈ Z, , ∈ R + , ∈ Z, ∈ R, where X is a Banach space, A is a closed linear operator with domain D(A) defined on X, ∈ p (Z, X) and Δ Γ denotes the Grünwald-Letkinov fractional derivative of order Γ > 0. We also give some conditions to ensure the existence of solutions when adding nonlinearities. Finally, we illustrate our results with an example given by a general abstract nonlinear model that includes the fractional Fisher equation with delay.
