The pulse narrowing nonlinear transmission lines model within the local fractional calculus on the Cantor sets

Abstract

Purpose The fractal and fractional calculus have obtained considerable attention in the electrical and electronic engineering since they can model many complex phenomena that the traditional integer-order calculus cannot. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new fractional pulse narrowing nonlinear transmission lines model within the local fractional calculus for the first time and derive a novel method, namely, the direct mapping method, to seek for the nondifferentiable (ND) exact solutions. Design/methodology/approach By defining some special functions via the Mittag–Leffler function on the Cantor sets, a novel approach, namely, the direct mapping method is derived via constructing a group of the nonlinear local fractional ordinary differential equations. With the aid of the direct mapping method, four groups of the ND exact solutions are obtained in just one step. The dynamic behaviors of the ND exact solutions on the Cantor sets are also described through the 3D graphical illustration. Findings It is found that the proposed method is simple but effective and can construct four sets of the ND exact solutions in just one step. In addition, one of the ND exact solutions becomes the exact solution of the classic pulse narrowing nonlinear transmission lines model for the special case 9 = 1, which strongly proves the correctness and effectiveness of the method. The ideas in the paper can be used to study the other fractal partial differential equations (PDEs) within the local fractional derivative (LFD) arising in electrical and electronic engineering. Originality/value The fractional pulse narrowing nonlinear transmission lines model within the LFD is proposed for the first time in this paper. The proposed method in the work can be used to study the other fractal PDEs arising in electrical and electronic engineering. The findings in this work are expected to shed a light on the study of the fractal PDEs arising in electrical and electronic engineering.

Study on the Nonlinear Dynamics of the (3+1)-Dimensional Jimbo-Miwa Equation in Plasma Physics

“…In recent years, the interest in fractal and fractional calculus [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] has intensified in different fields due to their strong ability to describe complex phenomena. Applying the fractal and fractional calculus to Equation (1) and obtaining the exact solutions will animate our future research.…”

On the zero state-response of the ℑ-order R-C circuit within the local fractional calculus

“…The fractional calculus, as the generalization from the integer order calculus, can be traced back to the discussion in a letter between German mathematician Leibniz and French mathematician L'Hospital in 1695. In recent decades, researchers pay more and more attention to the fractional calculus since it can accurately describe some strange phenomena in many scientific research fields, such as the porous media (Xiao et al , 2019; Wang, 2023a; Xiao et al , 2021; Wang and Shi, 2023a), non-smooth boundary (He et al , 2021; Wang et al , 2023a; Wang, 2022a), image analysis (Ghamisi et al , 2012), control (Ladaci and Charef, 2006), diffusion (Ammi et al , 2019; Atangana, 2016) and so on (Wang et al , 2023a; Ghanbari and Abdon, 2020; Wang, 2022b). In recent years, as a new theory of fractional calculus, the local fractional calculus has been successfully used to explain many non-differentiable (ND) scientific problems, for instance, the shallow water surfaces (Yang et al , 2016), rheological (Yang et al , 2017a), physics (Wang et al , 2023b, 2023c; Yang, 2017; Wang and Shi, 2023b; Wang, 2023c), circuits (Yang et al , 2017b; Zhao et al , 2017; Wang, 2023b; Banchuin, 2022; Banchuin, 2023; Wang et al , 2020), vibration (Yang and Srivastava, 2015) and others.…”

Controllability Analysis of Impulsive Multi-Term Fractional-Order Stochastic Systems Involving State-Dependent Delay

“…Fractional derivatives capture memory or hereditary effects that are essential to modeling systems with long-term dependencies, delays, or non-local interactions. Applications, like conservation laws about energy forms in fractal space, have been revealed by fractal generalized variational structures using the semi-inverse method, as discussed in [6], and a new fractional pulse narrowing transmission line model in electrical and electronic engineering is discussed in [7]. A new technique in tempered fractional calculus in both Riemann-Liouville and Caputo sense with applications in physical sciences is studied in [8].…”
