Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the developments related to the notion of local fractional derivative introduced in 1996. We consider its definition, properties, implications and possible applications. This involves the local fractional Taylor expansion, Leibnitz rule, chain rule, etc. Among applications we consider the local fractional diffusion equation for fractal time processes and the relation between stress and strain for fractal media. Finally, we indicate a stochastic version of local fractional differential equation.
