Abstract

‎‎In this paper‎, ‎the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for a class of nonlinear initial value problem for a finite fractional difference equation obtained by constructing the upper and lower control functions of nonlinear term without any monotone requirement‎ .‎The solutions of fractional difference equation are the size of tumor in model tumor growth described by the Gompertz function‎. ‎We use the method of upper and lower solutions and Schauder fixed point theorem to obtain the main results‎.
