Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Interest in fractal and non-differentiable functions was rekindled with the works of Mandelbrot in fractals, where such fractal objects were used to model natural phenomena, such as the coast of Britain. In the broad sense of understanding, local fractional calculus evolved from several distinct perspectives: firstly, this was the study of localized versions of the classical fractional derivatives; secondly, it was formulated in terms of difference quotients defined as fractional velocities, with physical applications in mind; and thirdly, it was developed as an extension of the ordinary calculus for functions defined on Cantor sets. The local fractional calculus can be used to characterize the growth of singular functions, and it was applied to problems in stochastic mechanics and in general to strongly non-linear phenomena, which are difficult to describe through smooth mathematical objects.

We invite and welcome review, expository, and original research articles dealing with the recent advances in the theory of local fractional derivatives on Cantor sets, fractional velocities, fractal integral operators, and their multidisciplinary applications.

In this paper, we consider a problem of continuity fractional-order for pseudo-parabolic equations with the fractional derivative of Caputo. Here, we investigate the stability of the problem with respect to derivative parameters and initial data. We also show that uωuω in an appropriate sense as ωω, where ω is the fractional order. Moreover, to test the continuity fractional-order, we present several numerical examples to illustrate this property. Full article

Many physical phenomena give rise to mathematical models in terms of fractal, non-differentiable functions. The paper introduces a broad generalization of the derivative in terms of the maximal modulus of continuity of the primitive function. These derivatives are called indicial derivatives. As an application, the indicial derivatives are used to characterize the nowhere monotonous functions. Furthermore, the non-differentiability set of such derivatives is proven to be of measure zero. As a second application, the indicial derivative is used in the proof of the Lebesgue differentiation theorem. Finally, the connection with the fractional velocities is demonstrated. Full article
