Abstract
The 1D discrete fractional Laplacian operator on a cyclically closed (periodic) linear chain with finitenumber

of identical particles is introduced. We suggest a "fractional elastic harmonic potential", and obtain the

N

this fractional Laplacian matrix recovers the fractional Laplacian matrix ofthe infinite chain.The lattice model contains two free material constants, the particle mass
