Abstract
In the present paper, a family of the special functions via the celebrated Mittag–Leffler function defined on the Cantor sets is investigated. The nonlinear local fractional ODEs (NLFODEs) are presented by following the rules of local fractional derivative (LFD). The exact solutions for these problems are also discussed with the aid of the non-differentiable charts on Cantor sets. The obtained results are important for describing the characteristics of the fractal special functions.
