In this article we establish a few Lyapunov-type inequalities for two-point discrete fractional boundary value problems involving Riemann-Liouville type backward differences. To illustrate the applicability of established results, we obtain criteria for the nonexistence of nontrivial solutions and estimate lower bounds for eigenvalues of the corresponding eigenvalue problems. We also apply these inequalities to deduce criteria for the nonexistence of real zeros of certain discrete Mittag-Leffler functions.
