2 Heat Transfer in Fractal Mediawith Local Fractional Derivative

In order to study the non-differential solution for the heatproblem in fractal media with local fractional derivative wehere begin with the Fourier flux equation in discontinuousmedia

The temperature field reads as [21]

119879 (119909 119910 119911 120591) = 119891 (119909 119910 119911 120591) at 120591 gt 1205910and in Ω (1)

where 119891(119909 119910 119911 120591) is local fractional continuous at fractaldomainΩ

For a given temperature field 119879 a local fractional temper-ature gradient [21] can be written as follows

nabla120572119879 =

where the local fractional partial derivative is defined by [21ndash24]

119891(120572)

119909(1199090 119910) =

120597120572119891 (119909 119910)

whereΔ120572(119891(119909 119910)minus119891(1199090 119910)) cong Γ(1+120572)Δ(119891(119909 119910)minus119891(119909

0 119910))

Here the local fractional derivative is defined on thefractal set like a Cantor set For example when we considerthe Cantor set we can find the local fractional derivative ofdiscontinuous function 119879 (however 119879 is a local fractionalcontinuous function)

We consider the heat flux per unit fractal area 997888119902 is

proportional to the temperature gradient in fractal mediumFourier law of heat conduction in fractal medium with localfractional derivative is expressed by [21]

997888119902 (119909 119910 119911 119905) = minus119870

2120572nabla120572119879 (119909 119910 119911 119905) (4)

where 1198702120572 denotes the thermal conductivity of the fractal

material and it is related to fractal dimensions of materialsIt is shown that the fractal dimensions of materials are animportant characteristic value Here we consider the fractalFourier flow which is discontinuous however it is found thatit is local fractional continuous Like classical Fourier flow itsthermal conductivity is an approximate value for fractal onewhen 120572 = 1

Fourier lawof one-dimensional heat conduction equationin fractal media reads as [21]

119902 (119909 119905) = minus1198702120572 119889120572119879 (119909 119905)

where 1198702120572 denotes the thermal conductivity of the fractal

materialsWhen 120591 = 120591

0 from (5) we have

119902 (119909) = minus1198702120572 119889120572119879 (119909)

119889119909120572 (6)

at 120591 gt 1205910and in 119860 where 1198702120572 is the thermal conductivity

of the fractal materials Namely 119879 is a bi-Lipschitz mappingand shows the fractal characteristic behavior [21]

Local fractional heat conduction equation with heatgeneration in fractal media can be written as [21]

1198702120572nabla2120572119879 + 119892 minus 120588

120597119905120572= 0 at 120591 gt 120591

0and in Ω (7)

Local fractional heat conduction equation with no heatgeneration in fractal media is suggested as [21 22]

1198702120572nabla2120572119879 minus 120588120572119888120572

0and in Ω (8)

where nabla2120572 is a local fractional Laplace operator [21]

3 The Method

In this section we discuss the Picard successive approxima-tion method Meanwhile we transfer the Fourier law of one-dimensional heat conduction equation in fractal media intothe local fractional Volterra integral equation of the secondkind

31 Picardrsquos Successive Approximation Method This methodis first proposed in [18] Here wewill give a short introductionto Picardrsquos successive approximation method within the localfractional calculus

In this method we set

1199060(119909) = 119891 (119909) (9)

We give the first approximation 1199061(119909) by

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120572 (10)

where the local fractional integral of 119891(119909) of order 120572 in theinterval [119886 119887] is defined as follows [21ndash24]

119886119868(120572)

0= 119886 and 119905

119873= 119887

Here we find that the equality 1199061(119909) is a local fractional

continuous function if 119891(119909) 119870(119909 119905) and 1199060(119909) are local

fractional continuous functions

Continuing in thismanner we have the infinite sequencesof functions

1199060(119909) 119906

1(119909) 119906

2(119909) 119906

119899(119909) (12)

such that the recurrence equations are given by

119906119899(119909) = 119891 (119909) minus

(119899 = 1 2 3 )

(13)

where 1199060(119909) is equivalent to any selected function which is

the local fractional continuous functionHence we have successive approximation as follows

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

(119909) (119889119905)120572

(14)

Thus at the limit the solution 119906(119909) is written as

119906 (119909) = lim119899rarrinfin

119906119899 (119909) (15)

32 An Alternative Method from Local Fractional Derivativeto Local Fractional Volterra Integral Equations We directlyobserve that the local fractional differential equation of 120572order

1198702120572 119889120572119879

119889119909120572= 119902 (119909) (0 le 119909 le 119887) (16)

can be written immediately as the local fractional Volterraintegral equation of thee second kind in the form

119879 (119909) = 119879 (119886) +120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119909

0

119902 (119905) (119889119905)120572 (17)

where 120582 = 11198702

TheMittag-Leffler type Fourier flux distribution in fractalmedia can be written as follows

119902 (119909) = 119902119905(119905 119909) = 119864

120572(119909 minus 119905)

120572119879 (119905) (0 le 119905 le 119887) (18)

Making use of (18) we can get the local fractional Volterraintegral equation of the second kind in the form

119879 (119909) = 119879 (119886) +120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

120572 (19)

4 Approximate Solutions for LocalFractional Volterra Integral Equationof the Second Kind

Let us assume that the zeroth approximation is

1199060(119909) = 0 (20)

Then the first approximation can be written as follows

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) = 119879 (119886) (21)

Here we obtain the second approximation which reads as

1199062 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119864120572(119909 minus 119905)

1205721199061 (119905) (119889119905)

120572

(22)

Proceeding in this manner we have the third approximationin the following form

1199063 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

120572 (23)

Hence continuing in this manner we obtain

119906119899 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

2 Heat Transfer in Fractal Mediawith Local Fractional Derivative

In order to study the non-differential solution for the heatproblem in fractal media with local fractional derivative wehere begin with the Fourier flux equation in discontinuousmedia

The temperature field reads as [21]

119879 (119909 119910 119911 120591) = 119891 (119909 119910 119911 120591) at 120591 gt 1205910and in Ω (1)

where 119891(119909 119910 119911 120591) is local fractional continuous at fractaldomainΩ

For a given temperature field 119879 a local fractional temper-ature gradient [21] can be written as follows

nabla120572119879 =

120597120572119879

997888119890120572

where the local fractional partial derivative is defined by [21ndash24]

119891(120572)

119909(1199090 119910) =

120597120572119891 (119909 119910)

120597119909120572

whereΔ120572(119891(119909 119910)minus119891(1199090 119910)) cong Γ(1+120572)Δ(119891(119909 119910)minus119891(119909

0 119910))

Here the local fractional derivative is defined on thefractal set like a Cantor set For example when we considerthe Cantor set we can find the local fractional derivative ofdiscontinuous function 119879 (however 119879 is a local fractionalcontinuous function)

We consider the heat flux per unit fractal area 997888119902 is

proportional to the temperature gradient in fractal mediumFourier law of heat conduction in fractal medium with localfractional derivative is expressed by [21]

997888119902 (119909 119910 119911 119905) = minus119870

2120572nabla120572119879 (119909 119910 119911 119905) (4)

where 1198702120572 denotes the thermal conductivity of the fractal

material and it is related to fractal dimensions of materialsIt is shown that the fractal dimensions of materials are animportant characteristic value Here we consider the fractalFourier flow which is discontinuous however it is found thatit is local fractional continuous Like classical Fourier flow itsthermal conductivity is an approximate value for fractal onewhen 120572 = 1

Fourier lawof one-dimensional heat conduction equationin fractal media reads as [21]

119902 (119909 119905) = minus1198702120572 119889120572119879 (119909 119905)

0and in 119860 (5)

where 1198702120572 denotes the thermal conductivity of the fractal

materialsWhen 120591 = 120591

0 from (5) we have

119902 (119909) = minus1198702120572 119889120572119879 (119909)

119889119909120572 (6)

at 120591 gt 1205910and in 119860 where 1198702120572 is the thermal conductivity

of the fractal materials Namely 119879 is a bi-Lipschitz mappingand shows the fractal characteristic behavior [21]

Local fractional heat conduction equation with heatgeneration in fractal media can be written as [21]

1198702120572nabla2120572119879 + 119892 minus 120588

120597119905120572= 0 at 120591 gt 120591

0and in Ω (7)

Local fractional heat conduction equation with no heatgeneration in fractal media is suggested as [21 22]

1198702120572nabla2120572119879 minus 120588120572119888120572

0and in Ω (8)

where nabla2120572 is a local fractional Laplace operator [21]

3 The Method

In this section we discuss the Picard successive approxima-tion method Meanwhile we transfer the Fourier law of one-dimensional heat conduction equation in fractal media intothe local fractional Volterra integral equation of the secondkind

31 Picardrsquos Successive Approximation Method This methodis first proposed in [18] Here wewill give a short introductionto Picardrsquos successive approximation method within the localfractional calculus

In this method we set

1199060(119909) = 119891 (119909) (9)

We give the first approximation 1199061(119909) by

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

120572 (10)

where the local fractional integral of 119891(119909) of order 120572 in theinterval [119886 119887] is defined as follows [21ndash24]

119886119868(120572)

0= 119886 and 119905

119873= 119887

Here we find that the equality 1199061(119909) is a local fractional

continuous function if 119891(119909) 119870(119909 119905) and 1199060(119909) are local

fractional continuous functions

Abstract and Applied Analysis 3

Continuing in thismanner we have the infinite sequencesof functions

1199060(119909) 119906

1(119909) 119906

2(119909) 119906

119899(119909) (12)

such that the recurrence equations are given by

119906119899(119909) = 119891 (119909) minus

Γ (1 + 120572)int

(119909) (119889119905)120572

(119899 = 1 2 3 )

(13)

where 1199060(119909) is equivalent to any selected function which is

the local fractional continuous functionHence we have successive approximation as follows

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119909

119870 (119909 119905) 119891 (119905) (119889119905)120572

119906119899(119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

(119909) (119889119905)120572

(14)

Thus at the limit the solution 119906(119909) is written as

119906 (119909) = lim119899rarrinfin

119906119899 (119909) (15)

32 An Alternative Method from Local Fractional Derivativeto Local Fractional Volterra Integral Equations We directlyobserve that the local fractional differential equation of 120572order

1198702120572 119889120572119879

119889119909120572= 119902 (119909) (0 le 119909 le 119887) (16)

can be written immediately as the local fractional Volterraintegral equation of thee second kind in the form

119879 (119909) = 119879 (119886) +120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119909

0

119902 (119905) (119889119905)120572 (17)

where 120582 = 11198702

TheMittag-Leffler type Fourier flux distribution in fractalmedia can be written as follows

119902 (119909) = 119902119905(119905 119909) = 119864

120572(119909 minus 119905)

120572119879 (119905) (0 le 119905 le 119887) (18)

Making use of (18) we can get the local fractional Volterraintegral equation of the second kind in the form

119879 (119909) = 119879 (119886) +120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119909

119864120572(119909 minus 119905)

120572 (19)

4 Approximate Solutions for LocalFractional Volterra Integral Equationof the Second Kind

Let us assume that the zeroth approximation is

1199060(119909) = 0 (20)

Then the first approximation can be written as follows

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) = 119879 (119886) (21)

Here we obtain the second approximation which reads as

1199062 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119909

119864120572(119909 minus 119905)

1205721199061 (119905) (119889119905)

120572

(22)

Proceeding in this manner we have the third approximationin the following form

1199063 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

1205721199062 (119905) (119889119905)

120572 (23)

Hence continuing in this manner we obtain

119906119899 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

Taking the limit we have

flux distribution in fractal media which is related to thefractal coarse-grained mass function [21 24] When 119870 = 1we get 119906(119909) = 119879(119886)119864

Continuing in thismanner we have the infinite sequencesof functions

1(119909) 119906

2(119909) 119906

119899(119909) (12)

such that the recurrence equations are given by

119906119899(119909) = 119891 (119909) minus

(119899 = 1 2 3 )

(13)

where 1199060(119909) is equivalent to any selected function which is

the local fractional continuous functionHence we have successive approximation as follows

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) +

Γ (1 + 120572)int

(119909) (119889119905)120572

(14)

Thus at the limit the solution 119906(119909) is written as

119906 (119909) = lim119899rarrinfin

119906119899 (119909) (15)

32 An Alternative Method from Local Fractional Derivativeto Local Fractional Volterra Integral Equations We directlyobserve that the local fractional differential equation of 120572order

1198702120572 119889120572119879

119889119909120572= 119902 (119909) (0 le 119909 le 119887) (16)

can be written immediately as the local fractional Volterraintegral equation of thee second kind in the form

119879 (119909) = 119879 (119886) +120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119909

0

119902 (119905) (119889119905)120572 (17)

where 120582 = 11198702

TheMittag-Leffler type Fourier flux distribution in fractalmedia can be written as follows

119902 (119909) = 119902119905(119905 119909) = 119864

120572(119909 minus 119905)

120572119879 (119905) (0 le 119905 le 119887) (18)

Making use of (18) we can get the local fractional Volterraintegral equation of the second kind in the form

119879 (119909) = 119879 (119886) +120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

4 Approximate Solutions for LocalFractional Volterra Integral Equationof the Second Kind

Let us assume that the zeroth approximation is

1199060(119909) = 0 (20)

Then the first approximation can be written as follows

1199061(119909) = 119891 (119909) = 119879 (119886) (21)

Here we obtain the second approximation which reads as

1199062 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

119909

0

119864120572(119909 minus 119905)

1205721199061 (119905) (119889119905)

120572

(22)

Proceeding in this manner we have the third approximationin the following form

1199063 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

120582120572

Γ (1 + 120572)int

1205721199062 (119905) (119889119905)

120572 (23)

Hence continuing in this manner we obtain

119906119899 (119909) = 119891 (119909) +

Taking the limit we have

where the term119864120572[119909120572(1+120582120572)] is aMittag-Leffler type Fourier

flux distribution in fractal media which is related to thefractal coarse-grained mass function [21 24] When 119870 = 1we get 119906(119909) = 119879(119886)119864
