Abstract
In this study, local fuzzy fractional partial differential equations (LFFPDEs) are considered using a hybrid local fuzzy fractional approach. Fractal model behavior can be represented using fuzzy partial differential equations (PDEs) with local fractional derivatives. The current methods are hybrids of the local fuzzy fractional integral transform and the local fuzzy fractional homotopy perturbation method (LFFHPM), the local fuzzy fractional Sumudu decomposition method (LFFSDM) in the sense of local fuzzy fractional derivatives, and the local fuzzy fractional Sumudu variational iteration method (LFFSVIM); these are applied when solving LFFPDEs. The working procedure shows how effective solutions for specific LFFPDEs can be obtained using the applied approaches. Moreover, we present a comparison of the local fuzzy fractional Laplace variational iteration method (LFFLIM), the local fuzzy fractional series expansion method (LFFSEM), the local fuzzy fractional variation iteration method (LFFVIM), and the local fuzzy fractional Adomian decomposition method (LFFADM), which are applied to obtain fuzzy fractional diffusion and wave equations on Cantor sets. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the used techniques, some examples are given. The results demonstrate the major advantages of the approaches, which are equally efficient and simple to use in order to solve fuzzy differential equations with local fractional derivatives.
    1. Introduction
The concept of fuzzy theory [] was originally introduced by Zadeh in 1965; it has been considered extensively from several different aspects of the theory and its applications, such as linguistic information systems and approximate reasoning in [,,], fuzzy decision making and fuzzy logic in [,], fuzzy analysis in [], and fuzzy topology in [,].
Many mathematicians are interested in fuzzy fractional differential equations (FFDEs) and fuzzy fractional calculus since these theories are helpful in determining uncertainty influenced by ambiguity and inaccuracy. The concepts of Riemann–Liouville, Caputo–Hadamard, Caputo–Katugampola, Caputo–Atangana–Baleanu, Caputo–Fabrizio derivatives, and Caputo fuzzy fractional integrals and/or derivative operators have been applied in the majority of articles presented to date on this topic (see [,,,,,,,,,,,,]).
Local fractional calculus has garnered the interest of many scientists due to its efficient treatment of non-differentiable functions. Local fractional calculus (LFC) represents differential and integral functions on fractal sets in their generalized form. Recently, physicists and engineers have appreciated LFC in addition to mathematicians. Fractional calculus is a generalized version of traditional calculus that examines real-order integrals and derivatives. Particularly when inherent constraints on a system influence its dynamics, these types of fractional derivative operators model a wide range of real-world phenomena more accurately. The literature contains a multitude of formulations pertaining to fractional integrals and derivatives. Due to the nonlocal nature of these formulations, they cannot be used to investigate the characteristics of local scaling phenomena or local fractional differentiability. Kolwankar and Gangal [] introduced the notion of local fractional derivatives a decade ago; these derivatives show several features of integer-order derivatives. However, they lose the memory properties implicit to the fractional-order derivatives. The local differential operators with fractal order have been applied as effective and powerful mathematical tools to simulate complex real-world problems, communicating physical observations and geometrical clarifications. The purpose of LFC is to investigate the differential properties of fractal objects and nowhere differentiable functions. The fractal properties are typically observed in aquifers, porous media, turbulence, and other phenomena.
The local fractional derivative and calculus theory have recently been introduced by Yang et al. []. This is based on fractal geometry and is the best method for the characterization of the non-differentiable function defined on Cantor sets by Yang and Hua []. Golmankhaneh et al. [] used fractional calculus in generalized Newtonian mechanics, Maxwell’s equations, and Hamiltonian mechanics. This then led to the emergence of ordinary differential equations and PDEs relating to this new concept, which became known as local fractional differential equations (LFDEs) and local fractional PDEs. This prompted some researchers to use the aforementioned methods to solve this new type of equation, including the local fractional ADM (LFADM) by Yang et al. [], the local fractional homotopy perturbation method (LFHPM) [], the local fractional variational iteration method [], the local fractional variational iteration transform method [], the local fractional Laplace decomposition method [], the Yang–Machado–Baleanu–Cattain wave method, the fractional sech function method [], and the fractional sech function method [].
In 1993, Watugala [] introduced the Sumudu transformation, which was thought to be the first of its kind in this field. This transformation was used to solve problems in control engineering. For this transformation, we devised a difficult inverse formula []. Asiru employed the Sumudu transformation to solve integral equations and systems of discrete dynamic equations in his studies [,]. Belgacem and Karaballi [] presented a comprehensive list of functions and properties of the Sumudu transformation.
Recently, scientists and engineers have applied the ADM in order to solve linear, nonlinear differential, and integral problems ([,,,,]). Moreover, some researchers have considered the ADM with the Sumudu transform. Trushit and Ramakanta [] used the Adomian decomposition Sumudu transform method (ADSTM). We investigated the fluctuations in the temperature distribution, efficiency, and efficacy of porous fins for different fractional orders, porous parameters, and convection parameters. Saadeh et al. [] presented the modified double ARA–Sumudu decomposition method for the obtained PDEs.
J.H. He invented the VIM, which was successfully used to solve autonomous ODEs [,]. It has been proven that this methodology works well when dealing with a variety of issues. Similar to the way in which the Shehu transform method is used to modify this method, the updated methodology is known as the variational iteration transform method (VITM). This technique has been used to solve many problems; see [,,]. Recently, many authors have presented the VIM with the Sumudu transform. Prakash et al. [] proposed a new computational method that was used to solve the numerically nonlinear time-fractional Zakharov–Kuznetsov (FZK) equation in two dimensions. Anac et al. [] presented approximations of solutions to random component time-fractional PDEs with Caputo derivatives using the new Sumudu transform iterative method (SUTIM).
The Laplace variational iteration method (LVIM) is a combination of the Laplace transform and VIM. Many scientific projects have considered this technique. Bhargava et al. [] used the LVIM to obtain series solutions to fractional-order heat equations that appear in many engineering applications. Nadeem et al. [] presented a new amendment to the LVIM for the solution of fourth-order parabolic PDEs with variable coefficients.
In 2015, Yang et al. [] and Zhang et al. [] proposed the LFHPM. To further obtain the solution for the local fractional Tricomi equation (LFTE), Singh et al. [] proposed the local fractional homotopy perturbation Sumudu transform method (LFHPSTM). Furthermore, Zhao et al. [] used LFHPSTM to look into the local fractional heat conduction equations in fractal media. Others [,,] have conducted work based on the application of LFHPSTM. The present work focuses on using the local fuzzy fractional homotopy perturbation Sumudu transform method (LFFHPSTM) to solve a few LFFPDEs in the fractal domain. Numerical simulations based on computers have been carried out in order to clarify the basic structure of the physical models expressed by LFFPDEs. The local fractional Sumudu transform (LFST) and the LFHPM as discussed in [] are combined to generate the LFHPSTM.
The contributions and novelty of this work can be summarized as follows:
- The LFFHPSTM is clearly advantageous in comparison to the local fuzzy fractional homotopy perturbation method and LFADM as it combines two powerful mathematical tools to solve nonlinear LFFDEs. The combination of LFFHPM with the local fuzzy fractional Sumudu transform (LFFST) produces faster computations than LFFHPM; hence, this combination saves time. Furthermore, without requiring linearization, perturbation, or discretization, this method provides a convergent series solution. The LFHPSTM does not involve rounding errors and so consumes less time. Further, by using He’s polynomials to solve nonlinear terms, this approach can handle nonlinear LFDEs. The novelty and uniqueness of this work arise from the fact that the hybrid method used has never been applied to the studied LFFPDEs in the recent past. The technique has two features: the first is that it decomposes nonlinear terms using He’s polynomials, and the second is that it produces closed-form series solutions with fast convergence. Furthermore, the LFFHPSTM does not require the solution of complex Adomian polynomials. These attributes are decisive in the selection of this method to solve LFFPDEs.
 - For the purpose of solving linear LFFPDEs, the combination of the ADM and the Sumudu transform method in the context of the local fractional derivative proves to be rather successful. Utilizing the series form of the solution proposed by the algorithm, rapid convergence will occur towards the exact solution. It is evident from the findings that the LFFSDM produces very accurate solutions with a minimal number of iterations. Therefore, given the effectiveness and flexibility of the application, as demonstrated by the provided examples, the work concludes that the LFFSDM can be used for additional linear LFFPDEs of higher order.
 - The coupling of the VIM and the Sumudu transform method in the sense of local fractional derivatives has been shown to be highly effective in solving linear and nonlinear LFFPDEs. The local fuzzy fractional Sumudu variational iteration method (LFFSVIM) is a user-friendly solution for such problems. This method combines two potent techniques to obtain exact or approximate solutions to linear–nonlinear LFFPDEs. The modified LFFSVIM is an alternative algorithm to solve linear–nonlinear LFFPDEs.
 - The fuzzy diffusion and wave equations defined on Cantor sets under fractal conditions are solved using the LFFLVIM. The method is found to be both useful and efficient in analytical applications. The LFFSEM, LFFVIM, and LFFADM all provide solutions to the same set of problems. All four approaches yield similar results; hence, the LFFLVIM is used as a viable alternative to the more standard technique of obtaining approximate solutions to linear–nonlinear fuzzy fractional differential equations.
 
This work is structured as follows. Section 2 is dedicated to providing the necessary notations and fundamental definitions. In Section 3, we present some LFFPDEs that are treated using a hybrid local fuzzy fractional approach. In Section 4, we propose the comparison of some analytical techniques applied to obtain fuzzy fractional diffusion and wave equations on the Cantor set. Finally, the conclusions end the work.

		Applying the property of the LFFST, we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Using the inverse LFFST of Equation (42) yields
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Taking  of Equation (43), we obtain

1. Local fuzzy fractional homotopy perturbation Sumudu transform method
Using Equation (46) and the LFFST operator LFFS, we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Applying the LFFST for the LFFD formula to Equation (48) yields
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Rearranging the terms in Equation (48) yields
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Further simplification on account of Equation (47) reduces Equation (50) to
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Using the inverse LFFST of Equation (51), we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		The LFHPM suggests the following homotopy equation:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Comparing the like powers of , we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		After simplification, we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Consequently, the solution of Equation (46) is as follows:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        or

The subsequent approximations from (39) and (46) are
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		The subsequent formula (57) yields
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		The first terms of LFFSDM are given by the equations (58) as

Using the LFFST for the LFFD formula in Equation (61), we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Applying the LFFST for the LFD formula in Equation (63), we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		After the rearrangement of the terms in Equation (64), we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		The initial conditions (62) can transform Equation (68) as
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Taking the inverse LFFST on Equation (66), we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		After simplification, Equation (67) yields

Utilizing equations (39) and (61), we can obtain the subsequent mathematical expression
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Applying the formula (74), successive approximations are obtained as follows:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		The first terms of LFFSDM have the following form:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		The local fractional series form can be expressed as

		The homotopy expression can be established using the fundamental method of LFFHPM:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		The comparison of the similar powers of  yields the subsequent components of the series solution:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Following the reduction technique, we have

4. Fuzzy Diffusion and Wave Equations on Cantor Sets within Local Fractional Operators
In this section, we present the fuzzy fractional diffusion and wave equations on Cantor sets with local fractional operators by using some techniques.
4.1. Local Fuzzy Fractional Laplace Variational Iteration Method
We consider the following local fuzzy fractional partial differential equations,
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where the linear local fractional operator  and the linear local fractional operator , which has an order less than , are defined. Additionally,  is a non-differentiable source term.
The correction functional for (92) is constructed as follows, based on the rule of the local fractional variational iteration technique
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is a fractal Lagrange multiplier and  in (92) are  times LFFPDEs. The initial value problem of (92) can be approached by beginning with
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Applying the Yang–Laplace transform on the value of (93), yields, in particular
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Assume the local fuzzy fractional variation of Equation (95), as expressed by
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		We apply the computation of (96) to obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Thus, from (96), we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Consequently, we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Using the Yang–Laplace transform’s inverse, we have
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		and, as a result, we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Consequently, we have the subsequent iteration algorithm,
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where the first value can be written as
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Hence, the solution of the above Equation (92) in terms of a local fuzzy fractional series can be expressed as follows:

        where  stands for a linear local operator with regard to  According to the findings of [,], there are multi-term separated functions of independent variables  and 
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  and  are local fuzzy fractional continuous functions. Moreover, there exists a non-differential series term
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  represents a coefficient. We can represent the solution in the form presented below:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Then, following (109), we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Hence,
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Considering (111), we have
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		Consequently, we can derive a recursion from (112)
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and when , the following relation is obtained:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		For , we get the following relation:
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		  The solution of (106) can be obtained through the recursion process,
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		whereas convergence can be achieved using
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
4.3. Local Fuzzy Fractional Variational Iteration and Decomposition Methods

In this sub-section, we present the local fuzzy fractional variational iteration technique as follows
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
          where  is a confined local fuzzy fractional variation, i.e.,  For , we have
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
          and, therefore, this iteration can be defined as
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		  Thus, the solution can be in the following form:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
4.3.2. Local Fuzzy Fractional Decomposition Method
The local fuzzy fractional differential operator  in Equation (118) has order , and we define
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		  The n-fold fuzzy fractional integral operator is defined as
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
          and we have
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
		  Hence,
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
          where  is identified by the initial conditions of the fractal. Consequently, the iterative formula is
          
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
          with  Therefore, assuming that , the recurrence connectionthat we have achieved is

5. Conclusions
In this paper, the hybrid LFFHPSTM, LFFSDM, and LFFSVIM have been used to successfully obtain the solutions of LFFPDEs. Computer-based numerical simulations can clarify the fundamental properties of the physical models given in LFFPDEs. The results demonstrate the efficiency and simplicity of the used technique in identifying LFFPDEs. The originality of this work comes from the fact that the utilized methodology has not recently been used for LFFPDEs. The combination that is used has two features; He’s polynomials are used to decompose nonlinear terms in the first case, while fast convergent series solutions in closed form are produced in the second. Furthermore, the LFHPSTM does not necessitate the calculation of complex Adomian polynomials. The LFFHPM and local fuzzy fractional Sumudu transform method (LFFSTM) can be coupled more quickly and provide better mathematical computations than the LFFHPM. The process of determining a solution demonstrates the efficacy and precision of the proposed method. The LFFSDM offers the solution in the form of a series that, if one exists, quickly converges to the precise solution. It is evident from the findings that the LFFSDM produces very accurate solutions with a minimal number of iterations. Moreover, we have investigated the LFFLIM, LFFSEM, LFFVIM, and LFFADM applied to solving fuzzy diffusion and wave equations defined on Cantor sets with fractal conditions. We show that the LFFVIM utilizing the iteration of the correction local fractional function yields numerous successive approximations. However, the exact solution, which is a local fractional continuous function, is provided by the LFFADM, where these components are local fractional continuous functions. The techniques produce approximate solutions to linear and nonlinear fuzzy fractional differential equations.
