The Local Fractional Derivative of Fractal Curves

Fractal curves described by iterated function system (IFS) are generally non-integer derivative. For that we use fractional derivative to investigate differentiability of this curves. We propose a method to calculate local fractional derivative of a curve from IFS property. Also we give some examples of IFS representing the slopes of the right and left half-tangent of the fractal curves.
