contents In this paper, we first define a discrete version of the fractional Laplace operator $(-Δ)^{s}$ through the heat semigroup on a stochastically complete, connected, locally finite graph $G = (V, E, μ, w)$. Secondly, we define the fractional divergence and give another form of $(-Δ)^s$. The third point, and the foremost, is the introduction of the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,2}(V)$, which is necessary when we study problems involving $(-Δ)^{s}$. Finally, using the mountain-pass theorem and the Nehari manifold, we obtain multiplicity solutions to a discrete fractional Schrödinger equation on $G$. We caution the readers that though these existence results are well known in the continuous case, the discrete case is quite different.

Finally, using the mountain-pass theorem and the Nehari manifold, we obtain multiplicity solutions to a discrete fractional Schrödinger equation on $G$.
