TY - JOUR TI - A variational principle for fractal Klein-Gordon equation AU - Chen Qiaoling JN - Thermal Science PY - 2023 VL - 27 IS - 3 SP - 1803 EP - 1810 PT - Article AB - This paper studies the Klein-Gordon equation and two modifications in an infinite Cantor set and a fractal space-time. Their variational formulations are established and discussed, and the spatio-temporal discontinuity requires both spatio-fractal derivative and temporal fractal derivative for practical applications. Some basic properties of the local fractional derivative and the two-scale fractal derivative are elucidated, and the derivation of the Euler-Lagrange equation is illustrated.
