The efficiency of the considered methods are illustrated by some examples. The results obtained by LFLVIM and LFLDM are compared with the results obtained by LFVIM. The results reveal that the suggested algorithms are very effective and simple, and can be applied for linear and nonlinear problems in sciences and engineering.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLfdosLFLVIMLFLDMDamped Wave EquationDissipative Wave EquationApproximate Solutions of the Damped Wave Equation and Dissipative Wave Equation in Fractal StringsApproximate Solutions of the Damped Wave Equation and Dissipative Wave Equation in Fractal StringsArticle3210.3390/fractalfract3020026
