Higher Order Fractal Differential Equations

This paper provides a summary of the fractal calculus framework. It presents higher-order homogeneous and nonhomogeneous linear fractal differential equations with $α$-order. Solutions for these equations with constant coefficients are obtained through the method of variation of parameters and the method of undetermined coefficients. The solution space for higher $α$-order linear fractal differential equations is defined, showcasing its non-integer dimensionality. The solutions to $α$-order linear fractal differential equations are graphically depicted to illustrate their non-differentiability. Additionally, equations of motion governing the behavior of two masses in fractal time are proposed and solved.

Characterization by a time-frequency method of classical waves propagation in one-dimensional lattice : effects of the dispersion and localized nonlinearities

This paper presents an application of time-frequency methods to characterize the dispersion of acoustic waves travelling in a one-dimensional periodic or disordered lattice made up of Helmholtz resonators connected to a cylindrical tube. These methods allow (1) to evaluate the velocity of the wave energy when the input signal is an acoustic pulse ; (2) to display the evolution of the spectral content of the transient signal ; (3) to show the role of the localized nonlinearities on the propagation .i.e the emergence of higher harmonics. The main result of this paper is that the time-frequency methods point out how the nonlinearities break the localization of the waves and/or the filter effects of the lattice.
