1. Introduction
The main approaches to describe nonlocal properties of media and materials are a macroscopic approach based on the
continuum mechanics [1–5], and a microscopic approach based on the lattice mechanics [6–9]. Continuum mechanics can
be considered as a continuous limit of lattice dynamics, where the sizes of continuum elements are much larger than the
distances between lattice particles.
Theory of derivatives and integrals of non-integer orders [10–19] has a long history and it goes back to the famous sci-
entist such as Leibniz, Riemann, Liouville, Letnikov, Weyl, Riesz and other. Fractional calculus and fractional differential
equations have a wide application in different areas of physics [20–31]. Fractional integro-differential equations are very
important to describe processes in nonlocal continua and media. Fractional integrals and differential operators with respect
to coordinates allow us to describe continuouslydistributed system with power-law type of nonlocality. Therefore fractional
calculus serve as a powerful tool in physics and mechanics of nonlocal continua. As it was shown in [41,42,25], the fractional
differential equations for nonlocal continua can be directly connected to models of lattice with long-range interactions of
power-lawtype. Interconnection between the equations for lattice with long-range interactions and the fractional differen-
tial equations for continuum is proved by special transform operator that includes a continuous limit, and the Fourier series
andintegraltransformations [41–44].In[55–59]thisapproachhasbeenappliedtolatticemodelsoffractionalnonlocalcon-
tinua in one-dimensional case only. In this paper we propose a lattice fractional calculus that allows us to extend these lat-
tice models to N-dimensional case.
Dynamics of physical lattices and discretely distributed systems with long-range interactions has been the subject of
investigations in different areas of science. Effect of synchronization for nonlinear systems with long-range interactions is
described in [32]. Non-equilibrium phase transitions for systems with long-range interactions are considered in [33]. Sta-
tionary states for fractional systems with long-range interactions are discussed in [46,34,35]. The evolution of soliton-like

and breather-like structures in one-dimensional lattice of coupled oscillators with the long-range power are considered in
[36]. Kinks in the Frenkel–Kontorova model with long-range particle interactions is studied in [37]. In statistical mechanics
andnonlineardynamics,solvablemodelswithlong-rangeinteractionsaredescribedindetailinthereviews[38–40].Differ-
ent discrete systems and lattice with long-range interactions and its continuous limits are considered in [23,25]. It is impor-
tant that lattice models with long-range interactions of power-law type can lead to fractional nonlocal continuum models in
the continuous limit [41,42,25], Nonlocal continuum mechanics can be considered as a continuous limit of mechanics of lat-
tice with long-range interactions, whenthesizesofcontinuumelementaremuchlargerthanthedistancesbetweenparticles
of lattice.
It should be note that a calculus of operators of integer orders for physical lattice models has been considered in the
papers [48–50]. This lattice calculus of integer order is dened on a general triangulating graph by using discrete eld quan-
tities and differential operators roughly analogous to differential forms and exterior differential calculus. A scheme to derive
lattice differential operators of integer orders from the discrete velocities and associated Maxwell–Boltzmann distributions
that are used in lattice hydrodynamics has been suggested in the articles [51,52]. In this paper to formulate a lattice frac-
tional calculus, we use other approach that is based on models of physical lattices with long-range inter-particle interactions
and its continuum limit that are suggested in [41,42,25] (see also [43–47,55–59]).
In this paper, we propose lattice analogs of differentiation and integration of non-integer orders based on N-dimensional
generalization of the lattice approach suggested in [41,42,25]. A general form of lattice fractional derivatives and integrals
that gives continuumderivatives and integrals of non-integer orders in continuous limit is suggested. These continuum frac-
tional operators of differentiations and integrations can be considered as fractional derivatives and integrals of the Riesz type
with respect to coordinates.

2.1. Lattice fractional partial derivatives
Let us consider an unbounded physical lattice characterized by N non-coplanar vectors ai;i ¼ 1;...;N, that are the short-
est vectors by which a lattice can be displaced and be brought back into itself. For simplication, we assume that
ai;i ¼ 1;...;N, are mutually perpendicular primitive lattice vectors. We choose directions of the axes of the Cartesian coor-
dinatesystemcoincideswiththevectora.Thena ¼a e,wherea ¼jajande;i¼1;...;N,isthebasisoftheCartesiancoor-
