Preface
The purpose of this book is to give a detailed introduction to the local fractionalintegral transforms and their applications in various fields of science and engineering.The local fractional calculus is utilized to handle various nondifferentiable prob-lems that appear in complex systems of the real-world phenomena. Especially, thenondifferentiability occurring in science and engineering was modeled by the localfractional ordinary or partial differential equations. Thus, these topics are importantand interesting for researchers working in such fields as mathematical physics andapplied sciences.
In light of the above-mentioned avenues of their potential applications, we system-atically present the recent theory of local fractional calculus and its new challengesto describe various phenomena arising in real-world systems. We describe the basicconcepts for fractional derivatives and fractional integrals. We then illustrate the newresults for local fractional calculus. Specifically, we have clearly stated the basic ideasof local fractional integral transforms and their applications.
The book is divided into five chapters with six appendices.Chapter 1 points out the recent concepts involving fractional derivatives. We give
the properties and theorems associated with the local fractional derivatives and thelocal fractional integrals. Some of the local fractional differential equations occurringin mathematical physics are discussed. With the help of the Cantor-type circular coor-dinate system, Cantor-type cylindrical coordinate system, and Cantor-type sphericalcoordinate system, we also present the local fractional partial differential equationsin fractal dimensional space and their forms in the Cantor-type cylindrical symmetryform and in the Cantor-type spherical symmetry form.
In Chapter 2, we address the basic idea of local fractional Fourier series viathe analogous trigonometric functions, which is derived from the complex Mittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set. The properties and theorems of the localfractional Fourier series are discussed in detail. We mainly focus on the Besselinequality for local fractional Fourier series, the Riemann–Lebesgue theorem forlocal fractional Fourier series, and convergence theorem for local fractional Fourierseries. Some applications to signal analysis, ODEs and PDEs are also presented.We specially discuss the local fractional Fourier solutions of the homogeneous andnonhomogeneous local fractional heat equations in the nondimensional case andthe local fractional Laplace equation and the local fractional wave equation in thenondimensional case.
Chapter 3 is devoted to an introduction of the local fractional Fourier transformoperator via the Mittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set, which is derivedby approximating the local fractional integral operator of the local fractional Fourierseries. The properties and theorems of the local fractional Fourier transform operator

are discussed. A particular attention is paid to the logical explanation for the theoremsfor the local fractional Fourier transform operator and for another version of the localfractional Fourier transform operator (which is called the generalized local fractionalFourier transform operator). Meanwhile, we consider some application of the localfractional Fourier transform operator to signal processing, ODEs, and PDEs with thehelp of the local fractional differential operator.
Chapter 4 addresses the study of the local fractional Laplace transform operatorbased on the local fractional calculus. Our attentions are focused on the basicproperties and theorems of the local fractional Laplace transform operator and itspotential applications, such as those in signal analysis, ODEs, and PDEs involvingthe local fractional derivative operators. Some typical examples for the PDEs inmathematical physics are also discussed.
Chapter 5 treats the variational iteration and decomposition methods and thecoupling methods of the Laplace transform with them involved in the local fractionaloperators. These techniques are then utilized to solve the local fractional partial dif-ferential equations. Their nondifferentiable solutions with graphs are also discussed.

1Introduction to local fractionalderivative and integral operators
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Definitions of local fractional derivatives
The concept of local fractional calculus (also called fractal calculus), which was firstproposed by Kolwankar and Gangal [1, 2] based on the Riemann–Liouville fractionalderivative [3–6], was applied to deal with nondifferentiable problems from scienceand engineering [7–16]. Several other points of fractal calculus were presented, suchas the fractal derivative via Hausdorff measure [1, 17, 18], fractal derivative usingfractal geometry [1, 19, 20], and local fractional derivative using the fractal geometry[1, 21–25]. Here, in this chapter, we present the logical extensions of the definitionsto the subject of local derivative on fractals.
Let us recall the basic definitions as follows.Local fractional derivative of �(μ) of order ε (0 < ε ≤ 1) defined in [1, 2, 7–16]
is given by
D(ε)� (μ) = dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣∣ μ=μ0 = limμ→μ0
dε [�(μ)−�(μ0)]
[d (μ− μ0)]ε, (1.1)
where the term dε [�(μ)] / [d (μ− μ0)]ε is the Riemann–Liouville fractional deriva-tive of order ε of �(μ).
Local fractional (fractal) derivative of �(μ) of order ε (0 < ε ≤ 1) via Hausdorffmeasure με defined in [1, 17, 18] is given by
D(ε)� (μ) = dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣∣ μ=μ0 = limμ→μ0
�(μ)−�(μ0)
με − με0, (1.2)
where με is a fractal measure.Local fractional (fractal) derivative using fractal geometry of �(μ) of order
ε (0 < ε ≤ 1) defined in [1, 19, 20] is written as
D(ε)� (μ) = d�(μ)
dμε
∣∣∣∣ μ=μ0 = d�(μ)
dσ= lim�μ→μ0
�(μB)−�(μA)
ϒηε0, (1.3)
where dσ = ϒηε0 with geometric parameter ϒ and measure scale η0 is shown inFigure 1.1.

1.1.5 Fractional derivatives with and without singular kernelsand other versions of fractional derivatives
Fractional derivatives with singular kernel [28–69] have found popular applicationsin the fields of science and engineering. We mention some of them, for example,Liouville, Riemann–Liouville, Caputo, Weyl, Marchaud, Hadamard, Chen, Canavati,Riesz, and Cossar. The details on the conformable fractional derivatives were dis-cussed recently in [40, 41]. A tempered fractional derivative was proposed in [42].Generalized Riemann and Caputo versions of fractional derivatives were proposed in[43]. A fractional derivative without singular kernel and some of its properties werediscussed very recently in [44, 45]. Below, we present the definitions of fractionalderivatives with and without singular kernels as well as the conformable and temperedfractional derivatives.

1.2 Definitions and properties of local fractionalcontinuity
1.2.1 Definitions and properties
Let ℘ be a fractal set and let d1 and d0 be two metric spaces. Suppose �: (℘, d0) →(ℵ, d1) is a bi-Lipschitz mapping, then, we have
ω1ε (℘) ≤ ε (� (℘)) ≤ ω1ε (℘) (1.78)
such that
ω1 |μ1 − μ2| ≤ |�(μ1)−�(μ2)| ≤ ω1 |μ1 − μ2| , (1.79)
where μ1,μ2 ∈ ℘, ℘ ⊂ R, and ω1,ω2 > 0.Using (1.79), for ∀ρ > 0 and 0 < ε < 1, we have
|�(μ1)−�(μ2)| < ρε, (1.80)
where ε is fractal dimension of the fractal set ℘. This form is analogues of Lipschitzmapping.
Definition 1.1. Let �: ℘ → ℵ be a function defined on a fractal set ℘ of fractaldimension ε(0 < ε < 1). A real number χ is called a generalized limit of �(μ) asμ tends to a, or the limit of �(μ) at a, if to each τ > 0 there corresponds δ > 0such that
|�(μ)− χ | < τε, (1.81)
14 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
whenever
0 < |μ− a| < δ. (1.82)
The above statement is expressible in terms of inequalities as follows.Suppose τ > 0. Then, there is each δ > 0 such that |�(μ)− χ | < τε if
0 < |μ− a| < δ.Thus, we write
�(μ)→ χ (1.83)
as μ→ a, or
limμ→a
�(μ) = χ . (1.84)
We say that �(μ) tends to χ as μ tends to a.
Definition 1.2. A function �(μ) is said to be local fractional continuous atμ = μ0 if for each τ > 0, there exists for δ > 0 such that
|�(μ)−�(μ0)| < τε, (1.85)
whenever 0 < |μ− μ0| < δ.It is written as
limμ→μ0
�(μ) = �(μ0) . (1.86)
A function �(μ) is said to be local fractional continuous at μ = μ0 from the rightif for each τ > 0, there exists for δ > 0 such that (1.82) holds whenever μ0 < μ <
δ + μ0.A function �(μ) is said to be local fractional continuous at μ = μ0 from the
left if for each τ > 0, there exists for δ > 0 such that (1.82) holds wheneverδ − μ0 < μ < μ0.

0�(μ) = � (μ−

�(μ) = limμ→μ+

�(μ) = limμ→μ−

�(μ) . (1.87)
Suppose a function�(μ) is local fractional continuous in the domain I = (a, b), then,we write it as
�(μ) ∈ Cε (a, b) . (1.88)
Theorem 1.1. Suppose that limμ→μ0 �(μ) = �(μ0) and limμ→μ0 �(μ) =�(μ0) . Then
(a) limμ→μ0 [�(μ)±�(μ)] = �(μ0)±�(μ0);(b) limμ→μ0 |�(μ)| = |�(μ0)|;(c) limμ→μ0 [�(μ)� (μ)] = �(μ0)� (μ0); and(d) limμ→μ0 [�(μ) /� (μ)] = �(μ0) /� (μ0), provided �(μ0) = 0.
Introduction to local fractional derivative and integral operators 15
For the details of formal proofs of the validity of these four rules, see [1, 16, 21].Theorem 1.1 is a natural generalized result of those known when the order is a positiveinteger.
1.2.2 Functions defined on fractal sets
Following the definition of ε-dimensional Hausdorff measure, we define the functionsdefined on fractal sets as follows:
Let �: ℘ → ℵ be a function defined on a fractal set ℘ of fractal dimension ε(0 <ε < 1). A real-valued function �(μ) defined on the fractal set ℘ is given by
�(μ) = με, (1.89)
where με ∈ ℘ and 0 < ε < 1.We now notice that (1.89) is a Lebesgue–Cantor function and limε→1�(μ) = μ ∈
R with real number set R.The Mittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set ℘ is given by
Eε(με) =
∞∑k=0

where μ ∈ R and 0 < ε < 1.An extended version of (1.90) defined on the fractal set ℘ is given as
Eε(β,με
) =∞∑
k=0
μkε
� (β + kε), (1.91)
where β is real number, μ ∈ R, and 0 < ε < 1.The following rules via Mittag–Leffler functions defined on the fractal set ℘ hold:
(a) Eε (με)Eε (νε) = Eε (με + νε);(b) Eε (με)Eε (−νε) = Eε (με − νε);(c) Eε (με)Eε (iενε) = Eε (με + iενε);(d) Eε (iεμε)Eε (iενε) = Eε (iεμε + iενε); and(e) [Eε (με + iεμε)]n = Eε (nεμε + nεiενε), where n is integer and iε is a imaginary unit of a
fractal set ℘.
The sine function defined on the fractal set ℘ is given by
sinε(με) =
∞∑k=0
(−1)k μ(2k+1)ε
� (1 + (2k + 1) ε), (1.92)
where μ ∈ R and 0 < ε < 1.The cosine function defined on the fractal set ℘ is given by

∞∑k=0

where μ ∈ R and 0 < ε < 1.

1.3 Definitions and properties of local fractionalderivative
We discuss the definitions and prosperities of local fractional derivative for nondiffer-entiable functions defined on a fractal set.
1.3.1 Definitions of local fractional derivative
Definition 1.3. Suppose that �(μ) ∈ Cε (a, b) and 0 < ε ≤ 1. For σ > 0 and0 < |μ− μ0| < δ, the limit
D(ε)� (μ0) = dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣∣ μ=μ0 = limμ→μ0
�ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)]
(μ− μ0)ε (1.100)
exists and is finite, where�ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)] ∼= � (1 + ε) [�(μ)−�(μ0)]. In thiscase, D(ε)� (μ) is said to be the local fractional derivative of �(μ) of order ε atμ = μ0.
For our purposes, it is convenient to denote the local fractional derivative in the
form D(ε)� (μ0) or dε�(μ)dμε
∣∣∣ μ=μ0 .
If�(μ) is defined on the interval [μ, b), the left-hand local fractional derivative of�(μ) of order ε at μ = μ0 is defined to be
dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣μ=μ−0
= limμ→μ−
0
�ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)]
(μ− μ0)ε , (1.101)
where
�ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)] ∼= � (1 + ε) [�(μ)−�(μ0)] ,
if the limit exists.If �(μ) is defined on (a,μ], the right-hand local fractional derivative of �(μ) of
order ε at μ = μ0 is defined to be
dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣μ=μ+0
= limμ→μ+
0
�ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)]
(μ− μ0)ε , (1.102)
where
�ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)] ∼= � (1 + ε) [�(μ)−�(μ0)] ,
if the generalized limit exists.Suppose that
dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣μ=μ+0
Introduction to local fractional derivative and integral operators 19
and
dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣μ=μ−0
exist and
dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣μ=μ+0
= dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣μ=μ−0
.
Then, we have
dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣∣ μ=μ0 = dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣∣ μ=μ+0
= dε� (μ)
dμε
∣∣∣∣ μ=μ−0
. (1.103)
For 0 < ε ≤ 1, the fractal increment of �(μ) of order ε at μ = μ0 is defined by
� (1 + ε)�ε� (μ0) = �ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)] = D(ε)� (μ0) (�μ)ε +� (�μ)ε ,
(1.104)
where �μ is increment of μ and� → 0 as �μ→ 0.For 0 < ε ≤ 1, the local fractional differential of �(μ) of order ε at μ = μ0 is
defined by
dε� (μ0) = D(ε)� (μ0) (dμ)ε +� (dμ)ε . (1.105)
Suppose that there exists any point μ ∈ (a, b) such that
�(ε) (μ) = dε� (μ)
dμε= D(ε)� (μ) . (1.106)
In this case, Dε (a, b) is called a ε-local fractional derivative set.Property 1. Suppose that �(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b). Then, �(μ) ∈ Cε (a, b).
Proof. Using the formula (1.104), we arrive at
|�(μ)| =∣∣∣∣D(ε)� (μ0)
(�μ)ε
� (1 + ε) +� (�μ)ε
� (1 + ε) +�(μ0)
∣∣∣∣ . (1.107)
Taking the generalized limit of formula (1.107), we conclude
limμ→μ0
�(μ) = �(μ0) . (1.108)
For any μ0, we get the result.
Property 2. If �(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b) , then �(μ) is local fractional differentiable onthe domain I = (a, b).
Proof. From (1.104), we have the relation
�ε� (μ0) = D(ε)� (μ0) (�μ)ε +� (�μ)ε , (1.109)
where limμ→μ0 � = 0.
20 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
If we replace�ε� (μ0) and (�μ)ε by dε� (μ0) and (dμ)ε in (1.109), respectively,this identity yields
dε� (μ0) = D(ε)� (μ0) (dμ)ε +� (dμ)ε . (1.110)
Successively, making use of limμ→μ0 � = 0 in (1.100), we deduce the result.
Suppose that�(μ) ,�(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b). The local fractional differentiation rules ofnondifferentiable functions defined on fractal sets are listed as follows:
(a) D(ε) [�(μ)±�(μ)] = D(ε)� (μ)± D(ε)� (μ);(b) D(ε) [�(μ)� (μ)] = [D(ε)� (μ)]�(μ)+�(μ) [D(ε)� (μ)]; and(c) D(ε) [�(μ) /� (μ)] = {[
D(ε)� (μ)]�(μ)−�(μ) [D(ε)� (μ)]} /�2 (μ), provided
�(μ) = 0.
One observes that the formulas (a), (b), and (c) are presented to generalize thedifferentiation rules of the differentiable functions. These, in the Kolwankar-Gangalsense, are valid (e.g., [1–16]).
Setting �(μ) ∈ Dnε (a, b) and n = 2, the interchanging operator of the order of the
local fractional operators is defined as follows:
(dε
dμε⊕ dε
dμε
)�(μ) = d2ε� (μ)
dμ2ε. (1.111)
There is one mechanism which may indeed be applied to the local fractionalchain rule leading to the generalized chain rule of local fractional-order differentialoperator.
We present the local fractional chain rule via the interchanging operator ofnondifferential functions as follows [1, 16, 21]:
Suppose that �(μ) = (φ ⊗ ϕ) (μ). Then, we have
dε� (μ)
dμε= φ(ε) (ϕ)
[ϕ(1) (μ)
]ε, (1.112)
if φ(ε) (ϕ) and ϕ(1) (μ) exist.
Let C be a constant. The local fractional derivative of some of nondifferentiablefunctions defined on fractal sets are listed in Table 1.1.
The above results devoted to local fractional derivative were listed in [1], and theproofs of them are also found in Appendix B.
In order to derive them, one start with the new series expansion in the form
(φ + ϕ)nε =∞∑
i=0
(nεiε
)φ(n−i)εϕiε =
∞∑i=0
(nεiε
)φiεϕ(n−i)ε, (1.113)
where(nεiε
)= � (1 + nε)
� (1 + iε) � (1 + (n − i) ε). (1.114)

In this case, we present three characters of the series expansion below:
(a) (φ + ϕ)nε = 1, when n = 0;(b) (φ + ϕ)nε = φε + ϕε , when n = 1; and(c) (φ + ϕ)ε = (2ϕ)ε = (2φ)ε , when φ = ϕ.
We notice (b) is true when it is defined on fractal sets [1].When nε = σ is a real number, a fractional series expansion via arbitrary powers
σ is presented as [69]
(φ + ϕ)σ =∞∑

where(σ
i
)= � (1 + σ)� (1 + i) � (1 + σ − i)
. (1.116)
With the help of (1.113), the nondifferential difference takes the form
�ε [�(μ)−�(μ0)] = � (1 + ε)�ε� (μ0) ∼= � (1 + ε) [�(μ)−�(μ0)] ,
(1.117)

1.3.2 Properties and theorems of local fractional derivatives
Theorem 1.2 (Local fractional Rolle’s theorem). Suppose that �(μ) ∈ Cε [a, b],�(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b), and �(a) = �(b) . Then, there exists a point μ0 ∈ (a, b) andε ∈ (0, 1] such that
�(ε) (μ0) = 0. (1.124)
Proof.
(a) Let �(μ) = 0 in [a, b]. Then, for all μ0 in (a, b), there is �(ε) (μ0) = 0.(b) Let �(μ) = 0 in [a, b].
Since �(μ) is a local fractional continuous function in the domain Cε [a, b], thereare points at which �(μ) attains its maximum and minimum values, denoted by and T , respectively.
Because �(μ) = 0, at least one of the values , T is not zero.
Introduction to local fractional derivative and integral operators 23
Suppose, for instance, = 0 and that �(μ0) = . In this case, we consider
�(μ0 +�μ) ≤ �(μ0) . (1.125)
Assuming that �μ > 0, there is
�ε [�(μ0 +�μ)−�(μ0)]
(�μ)ε≤ 0 (1.126)
such that
lim�μ→0
�ε [�(μ0 +�μ)−�(μ0)]
(�μ)ε≤ 0. (1.127)
In similar manner, we consider �μ < 0.Considering �(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b) and applying (1.113), there is �(ε) (μ0) = 0. As
similar argument can be applied in case of = 0 and T = 0.Therefore, there is the formula �(ε) (μ0) = 0.
There is a generalized local fractional Rolle’s theorem devoted to the localfractional derivative in Kolwankar and Gangal sense.
Theorem 1.3. Suppose�(μ) ∈ Cε [a, b] and �(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b) . Then, there existsa point μ0 ∈ (a, b) and ε ∈ (0, 1] such that
�(b)−�(a) = �(ε) (μ0)(b − a)ε
� (1 + ε) . (1.128)
Proof. Let us define the nondifferentiable function, which is given by
�(μ) = � (1 + ε){
[�(μ)−�(a)] − [�(b)−�(a)] (μ− a)ε
(b − a)ε
}(1.129)
with ε ∈ (0, 1].Then, there are �(a) = 0 and �(b) = 0.In this case, for μ0 ∈ (a, b) there is the following identity in the form
�(μ) = � (1 + ε){
[�(μ)−�(a)] − [�(b)−�(a)] (μ− a)ε
(b − a)ε
}. (1.130)
Therefore, we have the result.
Theorem 1.4. Suppose that �(μ) ∈ Cε [a, b] and �(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b) . Then, thereexist limμ→μ0 �(μ) = 0 and limμ→μ0 (μ) = 0, where K denotes either a realnumber or one of the symbols −∞, ∞. Suppose that limμ→μ0
[�(ε) (μ) /(ε) (μ)
] =K. Then,
limμ→μ0
[�(μ) / (μ)] = K. (1.131)
24 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
Proof. Let �(μ) ∈ Cε [a, b] and �(μ) ∈ Dε (a, b) . There is μ0 ∈ (a, b) such that�(μ0) = 0 and (μ0) = 0.
There is η ∈ (μ0,μ) such that
�(μ)
(μ)= �(μ)−�(μ0)
(μ)−(μ0)= �(ε) (η)
(ε) (η). (1.132)
As μ→ μ+0 , the identity

In similar manner, when μ→ μ−0 , there is

�(μ)
(μ)= limμ→μ−
0
�(ε) (μ0)
(ε) (μ0)= K. (1.134)
Therefore, we get the result.
For more details regarding the proof of (1.121), we recommend to readers refs[1, 21, 70].
In order to demonstrate the above mechanism, we present elementary examples:Using (1.132), for μ→ 0, we have
Eε(με)− 1 ≈ με

1.4 Definitions and properties of local fractional integral
1.4.1 Definitions of local fractional integrals
Definition 1.4. Suppose ϕ (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b]. Then, we define the local fractionalintegral of ϕ (μ) of order ε(0 < ε ≤ 1) by
aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = 1
� (1 + ε)∫ b
aϕ (μ) (dμ)ε = 1
� (1 + ε) lim�μk→0
N−1∑k=0
ϕ (μk) (�μk)ε,
(1.140)
where �μk = μk+1 − μk with μ0 = a < μ1 < · · · < μN−1 < μN = b.
Suppose the local fractional integral of ϕ (μ) on the closed interval [a, b] be equalto �.
For each ρ > 0, there exists 0 < |�μk| < δ such that∣∣∣∣∣�− 1
� (1 + ε) lim�μk→0
N−1∑k=0
ϕ (μk) (�μk)ε
∣∣∣∣∣ < ρε. (1.141)
In fact, we recall the condition of the Riemann integral that suppose ϕ (μ) isbounded on [a, b], then, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of∫ b
aϕ (μ) dμ (1.142)
is that ϕ (μ) has a Lebesgue measure zero.Will the proposed procedure lead to Riemann integral on fractal sets? The answer
is yes. The suggested mechanism may indeed be adapted to condition of the Riemannintegral leading to generalized condition of the Riemann integral on fractal sets.
The Riemann integral on fractal sets is stated as follows [1, 16, 21]:Let ϕ: ℘ → ℵ be a function defined on a fractal set ℘ of fractal dimension ε(0 <
ε < 1). Suppose ϕ (μ) is bounded on [a, b] (or ϕ (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b]). Then, a necessaryand sufficient condition for the existence of
1
� (1 + ε)∫ b
aϕ (μ) (dμ)ε (1.143)
is that a fractal set of local fractional continuity of ϕ (μ) has a generalized Lebesguemeasure zero.
26 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
We easily get the following result:Suppose ϕ (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b], then, ϕ (μ) is local fractional integral on [a, b].For convenience, we can write the following rules:
(a) aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = 0 if a = b.
(b) aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = −bI(ε)a ϕ (μ) if a < b.
(c) aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = ϕ (μ) if ε = 0.
1.4.2 Properties and theorems of local fractional integrals
Suppose ϕ (μ) ,ϕ1 (μ), and ϕ2 (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b], the local fractional integral rulesof nondifferentiable functions defined on fractal sets are listed as follows[1, 16, 21]:
(a) aI(ε)b [ϕ1 (μ)+ ϕ2 (μ)] = aI(ε)b ϕ1 (μ)+ aI(ε)b ϕ2 (μ);
(b) aI(ε)b [Cϕ (μ)] = CaI(ε)b ϕ (μ), provided a constant C;
(c) aI(ε)b 1 = (b − a)ε /� (1 + ε);(d) aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) ≥ 0, provided ϕ (μ) ≥ 0;
(e)∣∣∣aI(ε)b ϕ (μ)
∣∣∣ ≤ aI(ε)b |ϕ (μ)|;(f) aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = aI(ε)c ϕ (μ)+ cI(ε)b ϕ (μ), provided a < c < b; and
(g) aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) ∈ [T (b − a)ε /� (1 + ε) , (b − a)ε /� (1 + ε)], provided that the maximumand minimum values of ϕ (μ) are and T , respectively.
Theorem 1.5 (Mean value theorem for local fractional integrals). Suppose thatϕ (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b]. Then, there exists a point ξ in (a, b) such that
aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = ϕ (ξ) (b − a)ε
� (1 + ε) . (1.144)
Proof. In view of ϕ (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b], we have
aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) ∈ [T (b − a)ε /� (1 + ε) , (b − a)ε /� (1 + ε)] , (1.145)
which leads us to
aI(ε)b ϕ (μ)
(b−a)ε
�(1+ε)∈ [T, ] . (1.146)
Therefore, for ξ ∈ (a, b) , we have
aI(ε)b ϕ (μ)
(b−a)ε
�(1+ε)= ϕ (ξ) , (1.147)
which yields the result.
Theorem 1.6. Suppose that ϕ (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b]. Then, for μ ∈ (a, b) , there exists afunction �(μ) given by
Introduction to local fractional derivative and integral operators 27
�(μ) = aI(ε)μ ϕ (μ) , (1.148)
with the following local fractional derivative:
∂ε� (μ)
∂με= ϕ (μ) . (1.149)
Proof. Let μ ∈ [a, b]; then, there exists μ+�μ ∈ [a, b] such that
�(μ) = aI(ε)μ+�μϕ (μ) . (1.150)
In this case, we present
�ε [�(μ+�μ)−�(μ)] =∫ μ+�μ
aϕ (μ) (dμ)ε −
∫ μaϕ (μ) (dμ)ε, (1.151)
which leads to
�ε [�(μ+�μ)−�(μ)] =∫ μ+�μ
μ
ϕ (μ) (dμ)ε. (1.152)
From (1.144), for ξ ∈ (a, b), we present the formula
μI(ε)μ+�μϕ (μ) = ϕ (ξ) (�μ)ε
� (1 + ε) , (1.153)
which yields that
μI(ε)μ+�μϕ (μ)(�μ)ε
�(1+ε)= ϕ (ξ) (1.154)
or
�ε [�(μ+�μ)−�(μ)](�μ)ε
= ϕ (ξ) . (1.155)
As �μ→ 0, we present
lim�μ→0
�ε [�(μ+�μ)−�(μ)](�μ)ε
= �(ε) (μ) = ϕ (ξ) . (1.156)
For �μ > 0, there exists a point μ = a such that
�(ε) (μ)
∣∣∣μ=a+ = ϕ (a+) . (1.157)
In a similar manner, for �μ < 0, there exists a point μ = b such that
�(ε) (μ)
∣∣∣μ=b− = ϕ (b−) . (1.158)
Hence, we get the result.
28 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
Theorem 1.7 (Newton–Leibniz formula of local fractional integrals). Suppose that
�(ε) (μ) = ϕ (μ) ∈ Cε [a, b] .
Then
aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = �(b)−�(a) . (1.159)
Proof. Let us define the function �0 (μ) = aI(ε)μ ϕ (μ). Thus, we have
∂ε
∂με(�0 (μ)−�(μ)) = ∂ε
∂με�0 (μ)− ∂ε
∂με� (μ) = ϕ (μ)− ϕ (μ) = 0,
(1.160)
which leads to
�0 (μ)−�(μ) = C, (1.161)
with C be a constant.
Therefore, from (1.160), we have the following identity
aI(ε)b ϕ (μ) = �0 (b)−�0 (a) = �(b)−�(a) . (1.162)
Hence, we obtain the desired result.
Theorem 1.8 (Local fractional integration by parts). Suppose that ϕ1 (μ) ,ϕ2 (μ) ∈Cε [a, b], and ϕ1 (μ) ,ϕ2 (μ) ∈ Dε (a, b) . Then,

Proof. We have

{∂ε

Thus, there is

2Local fractional Fourier series
2.1 Introduction
In the Euclidean dimensional space, the sum of the special trigonometric functionsis called the Fourier series in honor of the French mathematician, Jean BaptisteJoseph Fourier (1768–1830). The expansions of functions as trigonometric series playimportant roles in the analysis of periodic functions, which are studied in science andengineering [90–93].
In fractal dimensional space, there are the following special series via the Mittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set (e.g., [16, 21, 94–98]):
�(μ) = A0
2+
∞∑k=1
(Ak cosε (kτ)
ε + Bk sinε (kτ)ε)
(2.1)
and
�(μ) =∞∑
k=−∞ϕkEε
(iε (kμ)ε
), (2.2)
where A0, Ak, Bk, and ϕk are local fractional Fourier coefficients of (2.1) and (2.2),respectively.
Just as in the classical mechanism of the Fourier series, we need to answer thefollowing questions:
(a) In fractal dimensional space, how do we present the complex number defined on the fractalset �?
(b) Is there a generalized Hilbert space interpretation of local fractional Fourier series vianondifferentiable functions?
(c) How do we get the local fractional Fourier coefficients of the special series via theMittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set?
For μ, η ∈ R, and 0 < ε ≤ 1, the complex number defined on the fractal set � isdefined as follows [1, 16, 21, 94–104]:
Zε = με + iεηε, (2.3)
where Iε ∈ �.The conjugate of (2.3) is defined by
Zε = με − iεηε, (2.4)
where Zε ∈ �.

The modulus of the complex number defined on the fractal set � is given by [16,21, 94]∣∣Zε∣∣ = √Z
εZε =
√ZεZ
ε =√μ2ε + η2ε, (2.5)
where Eε (iε (2π)ε) = 1.For Zε ∈ � and 0 < ε ≤ 1, the complex Mittag–Leffler function defined on the
fractal set � is given by
Eε(Zε) =
∞∑i=0
Ziε
� (1 + iε). (2.6)
For Zε1, Zε2 ∈ �, and 0 < ε ≤ 1, we present the following properties of the complexMittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set:
Eε(Zε1 + Zε2
) = Eε(Zε1)
Eε(Zε2)
, (2.7)
Eε(Zε1 − Zε2
) = Eε(Zε1)
Eε(−Zε2
), (2.8)
and
Eε(iεZε1 + iεZε2
) = Eε(iεZε1
)Eε(iεZε2
). (2.9)
For Zε ∈ � and 0 < ε ≤ 1, we have
Eε(iεZε
) = cosε(Zε)+ iε sinε
(Zε)
, (2.10)
where
sinε(Zε) = Eε (iεZε)− Eε (−iεZε)
2iε(2.11)
and
cosε(Zε) = Eε (iεZε)+ Eε (−iεZε)
2. (2.12)
We call (2.11) and (2.12) the analogues of trigonometric functions, which are derivedfrom the complex Mittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set.
Let us consider a set of functions given by [16–94]:
�(Eε) = {Eε (iε (2π)ε (kτ)ε) , kε ∈ �} (2.13)
is an orthonormal basis of the generalized Hilbert space of functions in the interval[−π ,π].
In the generalized Hilbert space, the dot product of ϕ (τ) and φ (τ) with the 2π -period via local fractional integral is defined as follows [16, 21, 94]:
〈ϕ,φ〉ε =∫ π
−πϕ (τ) φ (τ) (dτ)ε. (2.14)
For a given generalization of the Hilbert space Hε, we have the following formula[16, 21, 94]:
Local fractional Fourier series 59
n∑k=1
∣∣ϕεk ∣∣2 = ‖φ‖2ε , (2.15)
where all functions φ ∈ Hε,∣∣ϕεk ∣∣2 = ⟨ϕεk ,ϕεk⟩ε
, (2.16)
‖φ‖2ε = 〈φ,φ〉ε , (2.17)
and
ϕεk = ⟨φ, eεk⟩ε
. (2.18)
We also have
φ =n∑
k=1
ϕεk eεk (2.19)
with sum convergent in the generalized Hilbert space Hε for all φ ∈ Hε, where{eεk}
is a basis of the generalized Hilbert space Hε.For k = j, the orthogonality condition of ϕk and ϕj is defined as follows:
⟨ϕk,ϕj

πε
∫ π
−πϕk (τ ) ϕj (τ ) (dτ)

For k = j, the normalized condition of ϕk is defined as follows:
〈ϕk,ϕk〉ε = 1
πε
∫ π
−πϕ2

Based upon the space given by
Hε = span{eε1, . . . , eεn

(πεiε (2τ)ε

we have
ϕε0 = 〈φ, 1〉ε (2.23)
and
ϕεk = ⟨φ, Eε(iε (kτ)ε

, (2.24)
where k ∈ Z.One also gets the inverse relations as follows:
φ =n∑
k=1
ϕεk eεk , (2.25)
where k ∈ N.

Hence, the local fractional Fourier series from the generalized Hilbert space Hε ispresented as follows:

where{eεk}∞
k=1 is a complete orthonormal set of functions.Let φ (τ) be 2L-periodic. For k ∈ Z, the local fractional Fourier series of the

Therefore, for L = π , we get the following pair:

and
ϕεk = 1

Hence, the local fractional Fourier series from the generalized Hilbert space Hε ispresented as follows:

⟩ε
eεk , (2.36)
where{eεk}∞
k=1 is a complete orthonormal set of functions.In different bases, we can obtain a class of different Fourier series from the
generalized Hilbert space. In this case, we find the local fractional Fourier coefficientsof the special series via the Mittag–Leffler function defined on the fractal set.

2.2.2 Complex Mittag–Leffler form of local fractionalFourier series
Let φ (τ) be 2L-periodic. For k ∈ Z, a generalized local fractional Fourier series ofψ (τ) is defined as follows:

is the local fractional Fourier coefficient of a local fractional Fourier series of φ (τ).Adopting (2.11) and (2.12), we easily obtain the following relationships:
ϕ (0, ε) = A (0, ε)

ϕ (k, ε) = A (k, ε)− iεB (k, ε)
2ε, (2.50)

and
ϕ (−k, ε) = A (k, ε)+ iεB (k, ε)

In this case, we also write transformation pairs in the following forms:
ψ (τ) ↔ ϕ (k, ε) . (2.52)
Other forms of local fractional Fourier series were presented in the literature (e.g.,[1, 16, 21, 94–104]).
2.2.3 Properties of local fractional Fourier series
Property 3 (Linearity of local fractional Fourier series). Suppose that
ψ1 (τ ) ↔ ϕ1 (k, ε)
and
ψ2 (τ ) ↔ ϕ2 (k, ε) .
Then, for two constants a and b, we have
aψ1 (τ )+ bψ2 (τ ) ↔ aϕ1 (k, ε)+ bϕ2 (k, ε) . (2.53)
Proof. The proof of this property is a straightforward application of the linearityproperty of integration.
Property 4 (Conjugation of local fractional Fourier series). Suppose that ϕ (k, ε)is the local fractional Fourier coefficient of ψ (τ). Then, we get
ψ (τ) ↔ ϕ (−k, ε). (2.54)
Proof. Since
Eε (−iε (kτ)ε) = Eε(iε (kτ)ε
), (2.55)
it follows by direct calculation of the local fractional Fourier coefficient of ψ (τ) that

The proof of this property is thus completed.
Property 5 (Shift in fractal time of local fractional Fourier series). Suppose thatϕ (k, ε) is the local fractional Fourier coefficient of ψ (τ). Then, we have

The proof of this property is evidently completed.
Property 6 (Fractal time reversal of local fractional Fourier series). Suppose thatϕ (k, ε) is the local fractional Fourier coefficient of ψ (τ). Then, we obtain
ψ (−τ ) ↔ ϕ (−k, ε) . (2.59)
Proof. With the help of the definition of local fractional Fourier series, we have
1

The aim of this part is to investigate the fractalsignal processes with help of the local fractional Fourier series. The technique is apowerful tool to process fractal signals to applied scientists and engineers. We willgive some examples (see also [94–98]).
We consider the 2L-periodic fractal signal given by
ψ (τ) = C (2.152)

The local fractional Fourier series of the fractal signal ψ (τ) when k = 0, k = 1,k = 3, and k = 5 is shown in Figure 2.1.
In this way, we can expand the fractal signal ψ (τ) into the local fractional Fourierseries representation.

2.4 Solving local fractional differential equations
We now consider some applications of local fractional Fourier series to handle thelocal fractional differential equations (see [99–104]).
2.4.1 Applications of local fractional ordinary differentialequations
We now consider the following local fractional ordinary differential equation
d2εψ (τ)
dτ 2ε + ψ (τ) = τ ε
� (1 + ε), τ ∈ (0,π) (2.180)
subject to initial value conditions given by
ψ (0) = 0, ψ (π) = 0. (2.181)
Local fractional Fourier series 85
We can write the function
τ ε/� (1 + ε)
as follows:
τ ε
� (1 + ε)=
∞∑k=1
B (k, ε) sinε (kτ)ε, τ ∈ (0,π) , (2.182)
where
B (k, ε) = 1

τ ε
� (1 + ε)
[sinε (kx)ε
](dx)ε
= −(

)ε� (1 + ε)
. (2.183)
In this case, we can rewrite ψ (τ) as follows:
ψ (τ) =∞∑
k=1
B (k, ε) sinε (kτ)ε, τ ∈ (0,π) , (2.184)
which leads us to
d2εψ (τ)
dτ 2ε = −∞∑
k=1
B (k, ε) k2ε sinε (kτ)ε, τ ∈ (0,π) . (2.185)
Using (2.180), (2.184), and (2.185), we obtain
−∞∑
n=1
B (k, ε) k2ε sinε (kτ)ε +
∞∑n=1
B (k, ε) sinε (kτ)ε = −
∞∑k=1
−(
2πk
)ε� (1 + ε)
sinε (kτ)ε.
(2.186)
Matching the coefficients for the same terms in the two series, we find from (2.186)that
(1 − k2ε
)B (k, ε) = −
(2πk
)ε� (1 + ε)
, k ∈ N, (2.187)
which leads us to
B (k, ε) =(
2πk
)ε(k2ε − 1
)� (1 + ε)
. (2.188)
Therefore, the local fractional Fourier solution for the local fractional differentialequation is given as follows:
ψ (τ) =∞∑

)ε(k2ε − 1
)� (1 + ε)
sinε (kτ)ε. (2.189)

2.4.2 Applications of local fractional partial differentialequations
We now present some examples for solving the local fractional PDEs in mathematicalphysics using the local fractional Fourier series.
We consider the following homogeneous local fractional heat equation in thenondimensional case:
∂εψ (μ, τ)
∂τ ε− ∂2εψ (μ, τ)
∂μ2ε = 0, (2.190)
subject to initial value conditions given by
ψ (0, τ) = 0, (2.191)
ψ (L, τ) = 0, (2.192)
and
ψ (μ, 0) = ϑ (μ) . (2.193)
Suppose that
ψ (μ, τ) = �(μ)� (τ) . (2.194)
In this case, we transform (2.190) into the following formula:
γ = �(ε) (τ )
� (τ)= �(2ε) (μ)
� (μ). (2.195)
We set γ = −λ2ε such that
�(ε) (τ )+ λ2ε� (τ) = 0 (2.196)
and
�(2ε) (μ)+ λ2ε� (μ) = 0. (2.197)
We now present the following terms:
�(τ) = C (λ, ε)Eε(−λ2ετ ε
)(2.198)
and
�(μ) = A (λ, ε) cosε(λεμε
)+ B (λ, ε) sinε(λεμε
), (2.199)
where A (λ, ε) , B (λ, ε), and C (λ, ε) are constants to be determined.In this case, we give the general solution as follows:
ψ (μ, τ) = C (λ, ε)Eε(−λ2ετ ε
) [A (λ, ε) cosε
(λεμε
)+ B (λ, ε) sinε(λεμε
)].
(2.200)
Local fractional Fourier series 87
Using (2.191), (2.200) can be rewritten in the form
ψ (μ, τ) = A (λ, ε)C (λ, ε)Eε(−λ2ετ ε
)sinε
(λεμε
)(2.201)
or, equivalently,
B (λ, ε) = 0. (2.202)
Thus, by using (3.192), we have
A (λ, ε) = 0 (2.203)
such that
λ = kπ
L, k ∈ N0. (2.204)
Therefore, we rewrite (2.201) as follows:
ψ (μ, τ) = A

(2.205)
In this case, we set the local fractional Fourier series as given below:

Lε
∫ L
−L
[ϑ (μ) sinε

Therefore, we obtain the local fractional Fourier solution in the form

We solve the following nonhomogeneous local fractional heat equation in thenondimensional case:
dεψ (μ, τ)
dτ ε− d2εψ (μ, τ)
dμ2ε= G (μ, τ) , (2.211)
subject to the initial value conditions given by
ψ (0, τ) = 0, (2.212)
ψ (L, τ) = 0, (2.213)
and
ψ (μ, 0) = ϑ (μ) . (2.214)
We present the local fractional Fourier solution given by
ψ (μ, τ) =∞∑
k=1

We suppose that there are {Gk (τ )}∞k=1 and {ψk (0)}∞k=1 such that
G (μ, τ) =∞∑

Let us now consider the local fractional Laplace equation in the form

subject to initial value conditions given by

ψ (μ, ρ) = 0, (2.227)
ψ (0, η) = 0, (2.228)
and
ψ (L, η) = 0. (2.229)
Suppose that we construct a special solution in the form
ψ (μ, η) = �(μ)� (η) . (2.230)
In this case, we transform (2.225) into the following formula:
γ = �(2ε) (μ)

Then, by separating the variables, we obtain

such that
�(2ε) (μ)+ λ2ε� (μ) = 0 (2.233)
and
�(2ε) (η)− λ2ε� (η) = 0. (2.234)
Using (2.227) and (2.228), we find that
�(0) = �(L) = 0. (2.235)
From (3.234), we get the general solution in the form
�(μ) = A (λ, ε) cosε(λεμε

), (2.236)
where A (λ, ε) and B (λ, ε) are the coefficients involved.Using (2.235), (2.236) becomes
�(μ) = B (λ, ε) sinε(λεμε

A (λ, ε) = 0, (2.238)
and

Hence, we find from (2.239) that

such that (2.242) becomes
�(η) = D (λ, ε) sinhε
((kπ

Therefore, we have

ψ (μ, ρ) = 0, (2.254)
ψ (0, τ) = 0, (2.255)
and
ψ (L, τ) = 0. (2.256)
Suppose now that we construct a special solution in the form

In this case, we transform (2.252) into the following formula:
γ = �(2ε) (μ)
� (μ)= �(2ε) (τ )

Thus, by separating the variables, we have

From (2.260), we get the general solution in the form

where C (λ, ε) and D (λ, ε) are coefficients.Using (2.262), (2.263) can be written as follows:

A (λ, ε) = 0, (2.266)

3Local fractional Fourier transformand applications
3.1 Introduction
Fourier transforms play an important role in the theoretical analysis of mathematicalmodels for the problems that appear in mathematical physics, engineering applica-tions, and theoretical and applied physics, as in quantum mechanics, signal analysis,control theory, and both pure and applied mathematics. Especially, the Fourier theoryis utilized to analyze the nonperiodic phenomena of heat conduction.
Recently, it was found that a nondifferentiable function in fractal time is de-composed into the local fractional Fourier series via the Mittag–Leffler functionsor the analogous sine functions and the analogous cosine functions defined on thefractal set because there are analogous trigonometric functions defined on Cantorsets. We expand the idea of the Fourier transform operator to the local fractionalintegral transform in the case of the Mittag–Leffler functions defined on Cantor sets.In order to understand the concept, the following problems should be consideredfirst:
Problem 1. What mechanism does the local fractional Fourier transform operatorpossess?
Problem 2. Does the local fractional Fourier transform preserve the energy of theoriginal quantity of nondifferentiable signals?
We give the answers to the above problems in this chapter. We start by presentingthe basic mechanism of local fractional Fourier transform operator.

Now, let us define the local fractional Fourier coefficients as follows:

and they converge.Let us define the variable ω by

Then, we rewrite (3.11) and (3.12) in the form

where τ ,� ∈ R.The next step is to define the variable ωε by
ωε = σεh0, (3.16)
where
h0 = (2π)ε

98 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
and (3.11) and (3.12) are restructured as follows:

where τ , σ ∈ R.The alternative forms of (3.17) and (3.18) are written as follows:

where τ , σ ∈ R and

In a similar manner, we have the following result.Suppose that φ (τ) is 2L-periodic, bounded, and locally fractional integrable on the
interval [−L, L]. In a similar way, we conclude that

respectively.This is a transfer pair referring to the nondifferentiable function, which is periodic,
bounded, and locally fractional integrable on the interval [−L, L].

By using (3.22) and (3.23), the local fractional Fourier formula for the nondiffer-entiable function becomes

Suppose that φ (τ) is 2L-periodic and the locally fractional continuous on theinterval [−L, L]. Thus, the local fractional Fourier formula for the nondifferentiablefunction can be written in the form

This is called the local fractional Fourier formula for the nondifferentiable function.Thus, we have completed the derivation of the local fractional Fourier transformoperators.
3.2.2 Definitions of the local fractional Fourier transformoperators
We now give the basic definitions of the local fractional Fourier transform operatorsvia the local fractional integral operator (see [16, 21, 27, 76, 96, 97, 105–107]). Inorder to study the local fractional Fourier transforms, we define the generalized spaceLν,ε [R] under the ν-norm given by
‖θ‖ν,ε =(

� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
−∞|θ (τ )|ν (dτ)ε
)1/ν
(3.26)
for 1 ≤ ε < ∞ and 1 ≤ ν < ∞.
Definition 3.1. By setting
θ ∈ L1,ε [R] and ‖θ‖1,ε < ∞,
the local fractional Fourier transform operator, denoted by
� [θ (τ )] = �(ω)
100 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
is defined by
� [θ (τ )] = �(ω) = 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
−∞θ (τ )Eε
(−iετ εωε)(dτ)ε, (3.27)
where � is called the local fractional Fourier transform operator.
Definition 3.2. The inverse local fractional Fourier transform operator, denoted by
�−1 [�(ω)] = θ (τ )
is defined by
�−1 [�(ω)] = θ (τ ) = 1
(2π)ε
∫ ∞
−∞�(ω)Eε
(iετ εωε
)(dω)ε, (3.28)
where �−1 is called the inverse local fractional Fourier transform operator.
Making use of (3.14) and (3.15), we present the local fractional Fourier formula inthe following form:
φ (τ) = 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
−∞
(∫ ∞
−∞φ (τ)Eε

In this case, we find the following quantity:
H (�) =∫ ∞
−∞φ (τ)√� (1 + ε)
Eε[− (2π i)ε τ ε�ε
](dτ)ε. (3.30)
We now revise (3.30) and we obtain the following alternative definition of localfractional Fourier transform operator.
Definition 3.3. Upon setting g ∈ L1,ε [R] and ‖g‖1,ε < ∞, the generalized localfractional Fourier transform operator, denoted by
� [g (τ )] = G (�) ,
is defined by
G (�) = √� (1 + ε)−∞I(ε)∞
{g (τ )Eε
[− (2π i)ε τ ε�ε]}
= 1√� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
−∞g (τ )Eε
[− (2π i)ε τ ε�ε](dτ)ε, (3.31)
Local fractional Fourier transform and applications 101
where τ ,� ∈ R, � is called the generalized local fractional Fourier transformoperator.
Definition 3.4. The inverse generalized local fractional Fourier transform operator,denoted by
�−1 [G (�)] = g (τ ) ,
is defined by
g (τ ) = √� (1 + ε)−∞I(ε)∞

](d�)ε, (3.32)
where τ ,� ∈ R and � is called the inverse generalized local fractional Fouriertransform operator.
In this case, we find that ω = 2π� .For various definitions of the local fractional Fourier transform operators, we refer
the reader to the earlier works [16, 21, 27, 76, 96, 97, 105–107]. Equation (3.17)provides the common definition of the local fractional Fourier transform operator to beapplied to find the solutions of partial differential equations [27–105]. Equation (3.29)was utilized to handle the nondifferentiable problems in mathematical physics [100].Therefore, we consider the expressions (3.27) and (3.31) throughout this chapter inorder to present some examples.
3.2.3 Properties and theorems of local fractional Fouriertransform operator
Theorem 3.1 (Fourier integral theorem for local fractional Fourier transformoperator). Suppose that θ (τ ) is local fractional continuous on the interval [−∞, ∞](or θ (τ ) ,�(ω) ∈ L1,ε [R] ). Thus, we have
θ (τ ) = � (1 + ε)
(2π)ε−∞I(ε)∞
{[−∞I(ε)∞
(θ (τ )Eε
(−iετ εωε))]
Eε(iετ εωε
)}.
(3.33)
This is the Fourier integral theorem for the local fractional Fourier transformoperator.
Proof. Since θ (τ ) is locally fractional continuous on the interval [−∞, ∞], from(3.24), we conclude that
φ (τ + 0) = φ (τ − 0) = φ (τ) , (3.34)

so that

The asserted claim is thus proved.
Property 7 (Linearity for the local fractional Fourier transform operator). Sup-pose that
θ1 (τ ) , θ2 (τ ) ,�1 (ω) ,�2 (ω) ∈ L1,ε [R] ,
� [θ1 (τ )] = �1 (ω)
and
� [θ2 (τ )] = �2 (ω) .
Then,
� [aθ1 (τ )± bθ2 (τ )] = a�1 (ω)± b�2 (ω) , (3.36)
where a and b are constants.
Proof. By using the definition of the local fractional Fourier transform operator,we have
� [aθ1 (τ )± bθ2 (τ )] = 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
−∞[aθ1 (τ )± bθ2 (τ )] Eε

∫ ∞
−∞[θ2 (τ )Eε

= a�1 (ω)± b�2 (ω) . (3.37)
Thus, the asserted claim is proved.
Property 8 (Shifting time for the local fractional Fourier transform operator).Suppose that
θ (τ ) ,�(ω) ∈ L1,ε [R] ,
� [θ (τ )] = �(ω) ,
and a is a constant. Then,
� [θ (τ − a)] = Eε(−iεaεωε
) � [θ (τ )] . (3.38)
Local fractional Fourier transform and applications 103
Proof. The definition of the local fractional Fourier transform operator leads us to

) � [θ (τ )] , (3.39)
which evidently completes the proof.
Property 9 (Scaling time for local fractional Fourier transform operator). Supposeθ (τ ) ,�(ω) ∈ L1,ε [R], � [θ (τ )] = �(ω), and a (a > 0) is a constant, then, there is
� [θ (aτ)] = 1
aε�
(ωa
). (3.40)
Proof. Using the definition of the local fractional Fourier transform operator
� [θ (aτ)] = 1

Therefore, the proof is completed.

and
� [θ (τ )] = �(ω) .
Then,
�[θ (−τ)

Proof. By using the definition of the local fractional Fourier transform operator,we get
�[θ (−τ)

Thus, we have completed the proof.
Property 11 (Translation for local fractional Fourier transform operator). Supposethat

� [θ (τ )] = �(ω) ,
and a is a constant. Then,
� [Eε

Therefore, we have proved the claim.
Property 12 (Duality for local fractional Fourier transform operator). Supposethat
θ (τ ) ,�(ω) ∈ L1,ε [R]
and
� [θ (τ )] = �(ω) .
Then,
� [θ (−τ)] = � (1 + ε)
(2π)ε� [�(τ)] . (3.46)
Proof. It follows directly from the definition of the local fractional Fouriertransform operator that

This proves the result (3.46).
Property 13 (Composition for the local fractional Fourier transform operator).Suppose that

� [θ1 (τ )] = �1 (ω) ,
and

Then,∫ ∞

Recently, the number in the fractal dimension space, namely,xε+ iεyε, where x, y ∈ R and iε is the fractal imaginary unit fulfilling i2ε = −1, whichhas the relation zε = xε + iεyε ∈ �. Thus, we can derive both the local fractionalderivative and integral operators based on the numbers in the fractal dimension space.
The local fractional derivative operator of ψ (z) of order ε (0 < ε ≤ 1) at the pointz0 is defined as [16, 21, 108]

(z − z0)ε , (4.1)
where �ε (ψ (z)− ψ (z0)) ∼= � (1 + ε) (ψ (z)− ψ (z0)).The local fractional integral operator of�(z) of order ε (0 < ε ≤ 1) from the point

In Section 4.4, the local fractional Laplace transform operator was utilizedto solve some local fractional differential equation (ODEs and PDEs).
4.2 Definitions and properties
Below, we introduce the basic definitions of the local fractional Laplace operators andits properties [16, 21, 110–115].
4.2.1 The basic definitions of the local fractional Laplacetransform operators
Definition 4.1. Setting θ ∈ L1,ε [R+] and ‖θ‖1,ε < ∞, the local fractional Laplacetransform operator, denoted by M [θ (τ )] = �(s), is defined as
M [θ (τ )] = �(s) = 1

4.2.2 The properties and theorems for the local fractionalLaplace transform operator
Property 21 (Linearity for local fractional Laplace transform operator). Suppose thatθ1 (τ ) , θ2 (τ ) ∈ L1,ε [R+], M [θ1 (τ )] = �1 (s) and M [θ2 (τ )] = �2 (s), then there is
M [aθ1 (τ )± bθ2 (τ )] = a�1 (s)± b�2 (s) , (4.30)
where a and b are constants.
Proof. We have, by definition of the local fractional Laplace transform operator,
M [aθ1 (τ )± bθ2 (τ )] = 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞

[θ2 (τ )Eε
(−τ εsε)] (dτ)ε= a�1 (s)± b�2 (s) . (4.31)
Thus, the proof is finished.
Property 22 (Shifting time for local fractional Laplace transform operator).Suppose that θ (τ ) ∈ L1,ε [R+], M [θ (τ )] = �(s) and a is a constant, then there is
M [θ (τ − a)] = Eε(−aεsε
)M [θ (τ )] . (4.32)
Proof. By using the definition of the local fractional Laplace transform operator,we obtain
M [θ (τ − a)] = 1

Therefore, the proof is finished.
Property 23 (Scaling time for local fractional Laplace transform operator).Suppose that θ (τ ) ∈ L1,ε [ R+], M [θ (τ )] = �(s) and a (a > 0) is a constant,then there is
M [θ (aτ)] = 1

Thus, we completed this proof.
Property 24 (Translation for local fractional Laplace transform operator). Sup-pose that θ (τ ) ∈ L1,ε [ R+], M [θ (τ )] = �(s) and a is a constant, then there is
M[Eε
(aετ ε
)θ (τ )
] = �(s − a) . (4.36)
Proof. By utilizing the definition of the local fractional Laplace transform operator,we conclude that

� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
0θ (τ )Eε
(− (s − a)ε τ ε)(dτ)ε
= �(s − a) . (4.37)
Therefore, we proved our claim.
Theorem 4.1. Suppose that θ (τ ) ∈ L1,ε [ R+], M [θ (τ )] = �(s) andlimτ→∞ θ (τ ) = 0, then there is
M[θ(ε) (τ )
]= sεM [θ (τ )] − θ (0) . (4.38)

Proof. Once more, by using the definition of the local fractional Laplace transformoperator, we obtain
M[θ(ε) (τ )
]= 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
0θ(ε) (τ )Eε
(−τ εsε) (dτ)ε. (4.39)
Taking the integration by part for local fractional integral operator and using (4.36),we conclude
M[θ(ε) (τ )
]= 1
� (1 + ε)

which, using limτ→∞ θ (τ ) = 0, leads to

∫ ∞
0θ (τ )Eε
(−τ εsε) (dτ)ε] − θ (0)
= sεM [θ (τ )] − θ (0) . (4.41)
Thus, we completed the proof.
We remark that there is
M[θ(kε) (τ )
]= skεM [θ (τ )]−s(k−1)εθ (0)−s(k−2)εθ (ε) (0)−·· ·−θ((k−1)ε) (0) ,
(4.42)
where k ∈ N.
Theorem 4.2. Suppose that θ (τ ) ∈ L1,ε [ R+], M [θ (τ )] = �(s) and
limτ→∞ 0I(ε)τ θ (τ ) = 0, then there is
M[0I(ε)τ θ (τ )
]= 1
sεM [θ (τ )] . (4.43)
Proof. In accordance with the definition of the local fractional Laplace transformoperator, we have
M[0I(ε)τ θ (τ )
]= 1

Taking limτ→∞ 0I(ε)τ θ (τ ) = 0 into account in (4.45), we have the following result:
M[0I(ε)τ θ (τ )
]=

� (1 + ε)
∫ ∞
0θ (τ )Eε
(−τ εsε) (dτ)ε]= sεM [θ (τ )] . (4.46)
In this way, we finish the proof.
In a similar manner, by repeating this process, we have
M[0I(kε)τ θ (τ )
]= 1
skεM [θ (τ )] , (4.47)
where
limτ→∞ 0I(kε)τ θ (τ ) = 0. (4.48)
Theorem 4.3. Suppose θ (τ ) ∈ L1,ε [R+] and M [θ (τ )] = �(s), then there is
M[τ εθ (τ )
] = �(ε) (s) . (4.49)
Proof. Again, by using the definition of the inverse local fractional Laplacetransform operator, we conclude that

Therefore, we finished the proof.
Using the sane way of thinking, we have
M[τ kεθ (τ )
]= (−1)kε �(kε) (s) , (4.53)
where
lim|s|→∞�(kε) (s) = 0, k ∈ N. (4.54)

4.3 Applications to signal analysis
We consider the signal defined on Cantor sets [16–21].Let us take the local fractional Laplace transform of the signal defined as
θ (τ ) = 1, τ > 0. (4.86)

We determine the signal defined on Cantor sets, which is given as
θ (τ ) = Eε(aετ ε

With the help of the local fractional Laplace transform operator, we report the result:

Taking aε = με + iεηε in (4.88), where μ and η are constants, it gives
M[Eε
((με + iεηε

)] = 1
sε − (με + iεηε). (4.90)
Taking aε = με − iεηε in (4.88), we may create
M[Eε
((με − iεηε
)τ ε
)] = 1
sε − (με − iεηε). (4.91)
Taking μ = 0 in (4.90), the final result reads as
M[Eε

sε − iεηε. (4.92)
Taking μ = 0 in (4.91), this may be added in the form

4.4 Solving local fractional differential equations
We now present the local fractional Laplace transform operators to obtain thenondifferentiable solution of local ordinary and partial differential equations.
4.4.1 Applications of local fractional ordinary differentialequations
The potential applications of the local fractional Laplace transform operators areparticularly effective for linear local fractional ODEs with constant coefficients. Now,we illustrate the methods with the following examples:
Let us consider the local fractional ordinary differential equation
dεθ (μ)
dμε+ aθ (μ) = b sinε
(cμε
), (4.132)
subject to initial value condition
θ (0) = 1, (4.133)
where a, b, and c are constants.Taking the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.131), it gives
sε� (s)− 1 + a�(s) = bc
s2ε + c2. (4.134)
Local fractional Laplace transform and applications 171
In this case, we can rearrange (4.133) to obtain
�(s) = bc
(sε + a)(s2ε + c2
) + 1
sε + a
=(
bc
a2 + c2 + 1
)1
sε + a− bc(
a2 + c2) ( sε
s2ε + c2
)+ ab(
a2 + c2) ( c
s2ε + c2
),
(4.135)
which leads to
θ (μ) =(
bc
a2 + c2 + 1
)Eε
(−aμε)− bc(
a2 + c2) cosε
(cμε
)+ ab(a2 + c2
) sinε(cμε
).
(4.136)
We consider the local fractional ordinary differential equation
dεθ (μ)
dμε+ aθ (μ) = b cosε
(cμε
), (4.137)
with the initial value condition
θ (0) = 1, (4.138)
such that a, b, and c are constants.Similarly, making the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.136), we conclude
sε� (s)− 1 + a�(s) = bsε
s2ε + c2 . (4.139)
We may reformulate (4.138) as
�(s) = bsε
(sε + a)(s2ε + c2
) + 1
sε + a
=(
1 − ab
c2 + a2

(sε
s2ε + c2
)
+⎛⎝b − a2b

⎞⎠(

). (4.140)
Thus, it follows that
θ (μ) =(
1 − ab

)Eε
(−aμε) + ab

)
+⎛⎝b − a2b

172 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
The local fractional ordinary differential equation takes the form
dεθ (μ)
dμε+ aθ (μ) = bEε
(cμε
), (4.142)
subject to the initial value condition
θ (0) = 1, (4.143)
where a, b, and c are constants.Let us take the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.141). That is to say,
sε� (s)− 1 + a�(s) = b
sε − c. (4.144)
Thus, we have
�(s) = b
(sε − c) (sε + a)+ 1
sε + a. (4.145)
Therefore, we have the following result:
θ (μ) = Eε(−aμε
) + b
a + c
[Eε
(aμε
) + Eε(−cμε
)]. (4.146)
We consider that the local fractional ordinary differential equation
d2εθ (μ)
dμ2ε + a2θ (μ) = b sinε(cμε
), (4.147)
subject to the initial value conditions
θ (0) = 0, (4.148)
dεθ (0)
dμε= 0, (4.149)
where a, b, and c are constants.Taking the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.146), we conclude that
s2ε� (s)+ a2�(s) = b
s2ε + c2 , (4.150)
which leads to
�(s) = b(s2ε + c2
) (s2ε + a2
) . (4.151)
Thus, from (4.121), this may be added in the form
θ (μ) = b
a2 − c2
(sinε (cμε)
c− sinε (aμε)

), (4.152)
where a = c.

in the presence of the initial value conditions

dμε= 0, (4.158)
where a, b, and c are constants.Similarly, we present
s2ε� (s)+ a2�(s) = bsε
s2ε + c2 , (4.159)
which becomes
�(s) = bsε(s2ε + c2

For a = c, we have

such that
θ (μ) = b

In case a = c, we have

Now, let us discuss the local fractional ordinary differential equation

equipped with the initial value conditions
θ (0) = 0, (4.167)
dεθ (0)
dμε= 0, (4.168)
such that a, b, and c are constants.After calculating the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.166), we conclude
s2ε� (s)− a2�(s) = b
s2ε + c2 , (4.169)
which is rearranged in the form
�(s) = b(s2ε + c2
) (s2ε − a2

Thus, from (4.170), it results that

[sinhε

Let us consider the local fractional ordinary differential equation
d2εθ (μ)

)(4.172)
subjected to the initial value conditions
θ (0) = 0, (4.173)
dεθ (0)
dμε= 0, (4.174)
with a, b, and c being constants.In this case, we have
s2ε� (s)− a2�(s) = bsε

which becomes

Thus, we write that

The next step is to find the solution of the local fractional ordinary differential equation

in the presence of the initial value conditions
θ (0) = b, (4.179)
dεθ (0)
dμε= c, (4.180)
where a, b, and c are constants. Using (4.42), we note that
s2ε� (s)− sεb − c + a2�(s) = 0, (4.181)
which leads us to
�(s) = sεb + c
s2ε + a2 . (4.182)
Thus, we get

Below, we present the solution of the local fractional ordinary differential equation

where a, b, and c are constants.Adopting (4.42), we observe that
s2ε� (s)− sεb − c + a2�(s) = 0, (4.187)
which can be written as
�(s) = sεb + c

4.4.2 Applications of local fractional partial differentialequations
We start with the local fractional partial differential equations

), (4.190)
subject to the initial-boundary conditions
θ (μ, 0) = 1, (4.191)
θ (0, τ) = 0. (4.192)
Taking the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.190), we find that
∂εθ (μ, s)
∂με+ (
sε + 1)θ (μ, s)− 1 = sε
s2ε + 1(4.193)
and
θ (0, s) = 0. (4.194)
In this case, (4.173) gives the following result:

Local fractional Laplace transform and applications 177
The local fractional wave equation for the fractal vibrating string has the form
∂2εθ (μ, τ)
∂τ 2ε = a2ε ∂2εθ (μ, τ)
∂μ2ε , (4.197)
with the initial-boundary conditions
θ (μ, 0) = 0, (4.198)
∂εθ (μ, 0)
∂τ ε= 0, (4.199)
θ (0, τ) = sinε(τ ε
), (4.200)
|θ (μ, τ)| < �, (4.201)
where the constant aε denotes the speed of fractal wave travels.Taking the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.197), it gives
a2ε ∂2εθ (μ, s)
∂μ2ε − s2εθ (μ, s) = 0, (4.202)
which is rewritten in the form
∂2εθ (μ, s)
∂μ2ε − s2ε
a2ε θ (μ, s) = 0, (4.203)
where
θ (0, s) = 1
s2ε + 1. (4.204)
We observe that the general solution of (4.203) is
θ (μ, s) = ζ1 (s)Eε(sεμε/aε
) + ζ2 (s)Eε(−sεμε/aε
), (4.205)
which, from (4.201), leads to
ζ1 (s) = 0 (4.206)
or
θ (μ, s) = ζ2 (s)Eε(−sεμε/aε
). (4.207)
From (4.204), we see that (4.207) can be rewritten as
θ (μ, s) = 1
s2ε + 1Eε
(−sεμε/aε)
. (4.208)
Thus, the inverse local fractional Laplace transform of (4.208) reduces to
θ (μ, τ) = Hε (τ − μ/a) sinε[(τ − μ/a)ε
]. (4.209)
178 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
Let us consider now the local fractional diffusion equation in 1 + 1 fractal dimensionalspace, namely,
∂εθ (μ, τ)
∂τ ε− k2ε ∂
2εθ (μ, τ)
∂μ2ε = 0, (4.210)
subject to the initial-boundary conditions
θ (0, τ) = δε (τ ) , (4.211)
∂εθ (μ, 0)
∂με= 0, (4.212)
|θ (μ, τ)| < �. (4.213)
Taking the local fractional Laplace transform in (4.210), we have
sεθ (μ, s)− k2ε ∂2εθ (μ, s)
∂μ2ε = 0. (4.214)
From (4.211), we write
θ (μ, s) = ζ1 (s)Eε(
sε/2με/kε)
+ ζ2 (s)Eε(−sε/2με/kε
). (4.215)
From (4.213), it follows that
θ (μ, s) = ζ2 (s)Eε(−sε/2με/kε
), (4.216)
ζ1 (s) = 0. (4.217)
From (4.211), θ (0, s) = 1, we conclude that
ζ2 (s) = 1. (4.218)
We now observe from (4.216) and (4.218) that
θ (μ, s) = Eε(−sε/2με/kε
). (4.219)
Thus, we have the final result:
θ (μ, τ) = � (1 + ε)√4επεkε
Eε(−μ2ε/4επεkε
). (4.220)
5Coupling the local fractionalLaplace transform with analyticmethods
5.1 Introduction
Many challenging problems, such as vibrating strings, traffic flow, mass, and heattransfer in fractal dimensional time-space, have opened new frontiers in physics,mathematics, and engineering applications. The local fractional partial differentialequations were used to investigate some anomalous, still unsolved nondifferentialphenomena in nature. The local fractional Fourier and Laplace transform operatorshandle these types of equations (e.g., Chapters 3 and 4). Also, there are analytic andnumerical methods to deal with the local fractional partial differential equations. Thischapter presents the variational iteration, decomposition methods, and the couplingmethods of the Laplace transform with them within the local fractional operators.
In order to clearly illustrate the analytic methods, we consider the local fractionalpartial differential equation in a local fractional operator form, which is given by
L(n)ε � + Rε� = 0, (5.1)
where L(n)ε is linear local fractional operators of nε order and Rε is the linear local
fractional operators of order less than L(n)ε .
The structure of the chapter is given below. In Section 5.2, the variational iterationmethod of local fractional operator is presented. Section 5.3 gives the decompositionmethod of local fractional operator. In Section 5.4, the coupling Laplace transformwith variational iteration method of local fractional operator is given. Section 5.5is devoted to the coupling Laplace transform with decomposition method of localfractional operator.
5.2 Variational iteration method of the local fractionaloperator
In this section, the idea of the variational iteration method of local fractional operatoris briefly introduced. The variational iteration method, proposed by He, was used tofind the approximate solutions for the linear partial differential equations [116, 117].The variational iteration method of the local fractional operator was employed to solvethe local fractional partial differential equations [75, 104, 118–125].

180 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
As a starting point, we consider the local fractional variational iteration algorithm,namely,
�n+1 (τ ) = �n (τ ) + 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ τ
0λ
{L(n)
ε �n (ξ) + Rε�n (ξ)}
(dξ)ε. (5.2)
The local fractional correction functional is written as
�n+1 (τ ) = �n (τ ) + 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ τ
0λ
{{L(n)
ε �n (ξ) + Rε�n (ξ)}}
(dξ)ε, (5.3)
where �n is considered as a restricted local fractional variation, that is, δε�n = 0 (formore details, the reader can read the references [75, 104, 118–125] and the referencestherein).
After identifying the multiplier, namely,
λ = (−1)n (ξ − τ)(n−1)ε
� (1 + (n − 1) ε), (5.4)
we have
�n+1 (τ ) = �n (τ ) + 1
� (1 + ε)
∫ τ
0
(−1)n (ξ − τ)(n−1)ε
� (1 + (n − 1) ε){{L(n)
ε �n (ξ) + Rε�n (ξ)}}
(dξ)ε
= �n (τ ) + 0I(ε)τ
{(−1)n (ξ − τ)(n−1)ε
� (1 + (n − 1) ε)
[L(n)
ε �n (ξ) + Rε�n (ξ)]}
.
(5.5)
Finally, the nondifferentiable solution of (5.1) admits
�(τ) = limn→∞ �n (τ ) . (5.6)
Let us consider now the local fractional partial differential equation
∂2ε�(μ, τ)
∂τ 2ε− ∂2ε�(μ, τ)
∂μ2ε− ∂3ε�(μ, τ)
∂με∂τ 2ε= 0, (5.7)
subjected to the initial-boundary condition
�(μ, 0) = μ2ε
� (1 + 2ε), 0 ≤ μ ≤ 1, (5.8)
∂ε�(μ, 0)
∂τ ε= 0, 0 ≤ μ ≤ 1, (5.9)
�(l, τ) = �(0, τ) = 0, τ > 0, (5.10)
∂ε�(l, τ)
∂με= ∂ε�(0, τ)
∂με= 0, τ > 0. (5.11)
We structure the local fractional variational iteration algorithm as

� (1 + 2ε), (5.16)
...
�n (μ, τ) = μ2ε
� (1 + 2ε)+ τ 2ε
� (1 + 2ε). (5.17)
Thus, we obtain
�(μ, τ) = limn→∞ �n (μ, τ) = μ2ε
� (1 + 2ε)+ τ 2ε
� (1 + 2ε), (5.18)

5.3 Decomposition method of the local fractionaloperator
In this section, the idea of the decomposition method of local fractional operatoris considered. The decomposition method, proposed by Adomian, was used tofind the approximate solutions for linear partial differential equations [126, 127].Also, the decomposition method of local fractional operator was considered to findthe nondifferentiable solutions of the local fractional partial differential equations[125, 128, 129].
Coupling the local fractional Laplace transform with analytic methods 185
When L(n)ε in (5.1) is a local fractional differential operator of order nε, we denote
it as
L(n)ε = L(nε)
μ = ∂nε
∂μnε(5.30)
and
Rε� (μ) =∑n=0
an∂(n−1)ε
∂μ(n−1)ε. (5.31)
Defining the n-fold local fractional integral operator
L(−n)ε � (μ) = 0I(nε)
μ � (μ) , (5.32)
we conclude
L(−n)ε L(n)
ε � = L(−n)ε Rε�. (5.33)
Therefore, (5.33) implies
�(μ) = I (μ) + L(−n)ε Rε� (μ) , (5.34)
where I (μ) is to be determined from the fractal initial conditions.Hence, the iterative formula is expressed as
�n (μ) = L(−n)ε Rε�n (μ) , (5.35)
where �0 (μ) = I (μ).Thus, for n ≥ 0, the following recurrence formula reads{
�n (μ) = L(−n)ε Rε�n (μ) ,
�0 (μ) = I (μ) .(5.36)
Finally, we obtain the following result:
�(μ) = limn→∞
∞∑n=0
�n (μ). (5.37)
The next step is to consider the local fractional partial differential equation:
∂2ε�(μ, η)
∂η2ε= 2
∂2ε�(μ, η)
∂μ2ε− 1, (5.38)
subject to the following initial-boundary conditions
�(μ, 0) = Eε
(με

∂ε�(μ, 0)
∂με= 0, 0 ≤ μ ≤ 1, (5.40)
�(l, η) = �(0, η) = 0, η > 0, (5.41)
186 Local Fractional Integral Transforms and Their Applications
∂ε�(l, η)
∂με= ∂ε�(0, η)
∂με= 0, η > 0. (5.42)
Next, we consider the iterative formula, namely,
�n+1 (μ, η) = L(−2ε)η
(2∂2ε�n (μ, η)
∂μ2α
), (5.43)
together with the initial value
�0 (μ, η) = Eε
(με
) + L(−2ε)η 1 = Eε
(με
) + η2ε
� (1 + 2ε). (5.44)
Using (5.43) and (5.44), the approximations read as
�1 (μ, η) = L(−2ε)η
(2∂2ε�0 (μ, η)
∂μ2α
)= 2η2ε

�n (μ, η) = 2nη2nε

∂μ2ε+ ∂ε� (η, μ)
∂με+ �(η, μ) = ∂5ε� (η, μ)

5.4 Coupling the Laplace transform with variationaliteration method of the local fractional operator
In this section, we consider the idea of the local fractional Laplace variational iterationmethod [113, 114], which is coupled by the variational iteration method and Laplacetransform of the local fractional operator.
Using the local fractional Laplace transform, we present the new iteration algo-rithm in the following form:
M {�n+1 (μ)} = M {�n (μ)} + (−1)k 1
skεM {Lε�n (μ) + Rε�n (μ)} , (5.62)
where the initial value condition is indicated as
s(k−1)ε� (0) + s(k−2)ε�(ε) (0) + · · · + �((k−1)ε) (0)
skε= 0. (5.63)
Therefore, we report that
M {�} = limn→∞ M {�n} (5.64)
such that
�n+1 (μ) = M−1 [M {�n+1 (μ)}]= M−1 [M {�n (μ)}] + (−1)k M−1
[1
skεM

ε �n (μ) + Rε�n (μ))}]
.
(5.65)
Thus, we finally conclude
�(μ) = limn→∞ M−1 {M {�n (μ)}} . (5.66)
Next, we analyze the local fractional partial differential equation:
∂3ε� (η, μ)
∂μ3ε+ �(η, μ) = ∂2ε� (η, μ)

subjected to the following initial value:
∂ε� (0, μ)
∂ηε= 0, (5.68)
�(0, μ) = Eε(−με). (5.69)
Below, we show the local fractional Laplace variational iteration algorithm, namely,

In Figure 5.3, we show the corresponding graph.Let us analyze now the local fractional partial differential equation:

5.5 Coupling the Laplace transform with decompositionmethod of the local fractional operator
In this section, we show the core of the local fractional Laplace decomposition method[88], which is coupled with the decomposition method and the Laplace transform ofthe local fractional operator.
Taking the local fractional Laplace transform in (5.1), we have
M{
L(n)ε �(μ, η)
}+ M {Rε�(μ, η)} = 0, (5.88)
such that
M {�(μ, η)} =n∑
k=1
1
skε�((k−1)ε)(0, η) − M {Rε�(μ, η)} − 1
skεM {�(μ, η)} .
(5.89)
Taking the inverse of the local fractional Laplace transform in (5.89), it gives
�(μ, η) = M−1
[n∑
k=1

skε�((k−1)ε)(0, η) − M {Rε�(μ, η)} − 1
skεM {�(μ, η)}
],
(5.90)
Coupling the local fractional Laplace transform with analytic methods 193
which leads to the local fractional recursive relation as
�n+1(μ, η) = M−1{− 1
skεM {�(μ, η)}
}, (5.91)
where
�0(μ, η) = M−1
[n∑
k=1
1
skε�((k−1)ε)(0, η) − M {Rε�(μ, η)}
]. (5.92)
Below, we investigate the local fractional partial differential equation
∂2ε�(η, μ)
∂μ2ε+ ∂ε�(η, μ)
∂με= ∂3ε�(η, μ)
∂η3ε(5.93)
subjected to the initial values
�(0, μ) = 0,∂ε�(0, μ)
∂ηε= Eε(μ
ε). (5.94)
In our case, the local fractional iteration algorithms are constructed as
�k+1 (η, μ) = M−1(

where
�0 (η, μ) = ηε

Therefore, from (5.96), we present the components as

The next step is to examine the local fractional partial differential equation
∂ε�(η, μ)
∂με+ �(η, μ) = ∂4ε�(η, μ)
∂η4ε, (5.101)
in the presence of the following initial values:
�(0, μ) = Eε(με). (5.102)
For this specific case, the local fractional iteration algorithms are written as
�k+1 (η, μ) = M−1(
1
s4εM
{∂ε�k (η, μ)
∂με+ �k (η, μ)

where

∂η2ε, (5.109)
subjected to the initial values

∂ε� (0, μ)
∂ηε= 0, (5.111)
∂2ε� (0, μ)

When k = n + 1, we present that[Eε

Hence, we completed the proof.
In this case, we use the following formula:[Eε

Let us define

Then, we may structure a function

Appendix CLocal fractional Maclaurin’s seriesof elementary functions
In this appendix, we will present the local fractional Maclaurin’s series ofnondifferentiable elementary functions.
For a given nondifferentiable function ϕ (μ), the local fractional Maclaurin’s seriestakes the form
ϕ (μ) =∞∑
k=0
D(kε)ϕ (0)
� (1 + kε)μkε.
Moreover, the local fractional Maclaurin polynomial can be presented as
Tn [ϕ (μ)] =n∑
k=0
D(kε)ϕ (0)
� (1 + kε)μkε.
Further, using the relation D(kε)ϕ (0) = 1, where ϕ (μ) = Eε (με), one obtains
Eε
(με
) =∞∑
k=0
μkε
� (1 + kε).
Similarly, we may obtain that
D(kε)ϕ (0) = (−1)k ,
with ϕ (μ) = Eε (−με) and k ∈ R0, such that
Eε
(−με) =
∞∑k=0
(−1)k μkε
� (1 + kε).
Next, we have
D(kε)ϕ (0) ={
(−1)k , 2k + 10, 2k,
where ϕ (μ) = sinε (με) and k ∈ R0, such that
sinε
(με

k=0
(−1)k μ(2k+1)ε
� (1 + (2k + 1) ε).
212 Appendix C Local fractional Maclaurin’s series of elementary functions
In the same way, we have
D(kε)ϕ (0) ={
(−1)k , 2k0, 2k + 1,
where ϕ (μ) = cosε (με) and k ∈ R0, such that
cosε
(με

k=0

� (1 + 2kε).
In addition,
D(kε)ϕ (0) ={

where ϕ (μ) = sinhε (με) and k ∈ R0, such that
sinhε
(με

� (1 + (2k + 1) ε).
Similarly,
D(kε)ϕ (0) ={

where ϕ (μ) = coshε (με) and k ∈ R0, such that

In the above formulas, we notice that R0 = R ∪ 0.
