Abstract

In this work we present a novel proof of the Saalschutz formula by using the theory of discrete fractional calculus. The proofs of some results within this theory, namely, the fractional power rule and the fractional Leibniz rule are revisited.

Two typos detected: in Theorem 3.10, $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{N}^{0}$, and, in page 9, line 6, substitute $(\alpha)^{\underline{n}}$ by $(\alpha)_n$
