Fractional difference equations provide a flexible mathematical framework for modelling complex systems with memory, hereditary, and non-local effects. In this work, Chevala and Bhalekar studied the stability of higher-order two-term fractional linear difference equations. The stability results are derived, and the bifurcations are analysed for various parameter values.
