Abstract: We consider the discrete, fractional operator $left(L_a^{u}xight)(t):=abla[p(t)abl{a}_{a^{\ast }}^{u}x(t)]+q(t)x(t-1)$ involving the nabla Caputo fractional difference, which can be thought of as an analogue to the self-adjoint differential operator. We show that solutions to difference equations involving this operator have expected properties, such as the form of solutions to homogeneous and nonhomogeneous equations. We also give a variation of constants formula via a Cauchy function in order to solve initial value problems involving $L_a^u$. We also consider boundary value problems of any fractional order involving $L_a^u$. We solve these BVPs by giving a definition of a Green's function along with a corresponding Green's Theorem. Finally, we consider a (2,1) conjugate BVP as a special case of the more general Green's function definition.
