In this paper, we propose a new ζ-order RLC** resonant circuit described by the local fractional derivative for the first time. By studying the non-differentiable lumped elements, the non-differentiable equivalent imped­ance is obtained with the help of the local fractional Laplace transform. Then the non-differentiable resonant angular frequency is studied and the non-differentiable resonant characteristic is analyzed with different input signals and parameters, where it is observed that the ζ-order RLC resonant circuit becomes the ordinary one for the special case when the fractional order ζ = 1. The obtained results show that the local fractional derivative is a powerful tool in the description of fractal circuit systems.
