| Summary: | This article investigates the differential privacy of the initial state for nabla discrete fractional-order dynamic systems. A novel differentially private Gaussian mechanism is developed which enhances the system’s security by injecting random noise into the output state. Since the existence of random noise gives rise to the difficulty of analyzing the nabla discrete fractional-order systems, to cope with this challenge, the observability of nabla discrete fractional-order systems is introduced, establishing a connection between observability and differential privacy of initial values. Based on it, the noise magnitude required for ensuring differential privacy is determined by utilizing the observability Gramian matrix of systems. Furthermore, an optimal Gaussian noise distribution that maximizes algorithmic performance while simultaneously ensuring differential privacy is formulated. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
