Abstract

Weierstrass’s everywhere continuous but nowhere differentiable function is shown to be locally continuously fractionally differentiable everywhere for all orders below the ‘‘critical order’’ 2−s and not so for orders between 2−s and 1, where s, 1&lt;s&lt;2 is the box dimension of the graph of the function. This observation is consolidated in the general result showing a direct connection between local fractional differentiability and the box dimension/local Hölder exponent. Lévy index for one dimensional Lévy flights is shown to be the critical order of its characteristic function. Local fractional derivatives of multifractal signals (non-random functions) are shown to provide the local Hölder exponent. It is argued that Local fractional derivatives provide a powerful tool to analyze pointwise behavior of irregular signals.
