TY - JOUR TI - The integrating factor method for solving the steady heat transfer problems in fractal media AU - Chen Shan-Xiong AU - Tang Zhi-Hao AU - Wang Hai-Ning JN - Thermal Science PY - 2016 VL - 20 IS - 13 SP - 729 EP - 733 PT - Article AB - In this paper, we propose the integrating factor method via local fractional derivative for the first time. We use the proposed method to handle the steady heat-transfer equations in fractal media with the constant coefficients. Finally, we discuss the non-differentiable behaviors of fractal heat-transfer problems.
