In this paper, we address the finite-time stability problem of Caputo nabla fractional-order switched linear systems with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>α</mi><mo>∈</mo><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>1</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. Firstly, the monotonicity of the discrete Mittag-Leffler function is proposed. Secondly, under the per-designed switching rules, the form of the solution for Caputo nabla fractional-order switched linear systems is obtained by using the discrete unit step function. On the above basis, some sufficient conditions of finite-time stability for Caputo nabla fractional-order switched linear systems are proposed, according to the discrete Grönwall inequality and the monotonicity of the discrete Mittag-Leffler function. Finally, simulation verification is carried out via three numerical examples.
