Scope

Fractal theory is a compact branch of nonlinear science and has significant applications in porous media, aquifers, turbulence, and other media that usually exhibit fractal properties. Fractional calculus has great importance where all the elements can be found, such as the idea of fractional-order integration and differentiation, the mutually inverse relationship between them. Fractional calculus has its applications in miscellaneous fields of engineering and science such as electromagnetics, viscoelasticity, fluid mechanics, electrochemistry, biological population models, optics, and signal processing.

The theory and applications of fractional calculus prolonged greatly over the 19th and 20th centuries, and numerous contributors have given definitions for fractional derivatives and integrals. Mathematical research on fractals has now reached such a level, where beautiful concepts are developed in direct contact with engineering concerns. Numerous analytical and numerical investigations have played a decisive role in a particular area, but still there are many challenges to find out the exact solution.

This special issue will collect ideas and significant contributions to the theories and applications of analytic inequalities, functional equations, and differential equations involving fractals and fractional calculus, including theoretical and numerical features in the future direction. 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• The two-scale fractal derivative
• Fractal geometry
• Applications of fractal theory in science and engineering
• Analytical and numerical solution of fractional differential equations
• Fractal and fractional calculus
• Fractal derivative and fractal space
• Variational theory and variational principle
• Fractal semi-inverse method
• New numerical schemes for fractal-fractional operators.
• Fractal fractional calculus
• Applications of Fractional Calculus in mathematical physics
• Fractional differential equations in fractal media
