We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions belonging to the vector‐valued space of sequences
ℓpfalse(double-struckZ,Xfalse) for equations that can be modeled in the form
normalΔαu(n)+λnormalΔβu(n)=Au(n)+G(u)(n)+f(n),n∈Z,α,β>0,λ≥0,
where X is a Banach space,
f∈ℓpfalse(double-struckZ,Xfalse), A is a closed linear operator with domain D(A) defined on X, and G is a nonlinear function. The operator Δγ denotes the fractional difference operator of order γ>0 in the sense of Grünwald‐Letnikov. Our class of models includes the discrete time Klein‐Gordon, telegraph, and Basset equations, among other differential difference equations of interest. We prove a simple criterion that shows the existence of solutions assuming that f is small and that G is a nonlinear term.
