Abstract
In this chapter, we consider fractal distributions of states in the phase space. We use a continuous phase space model to describe those distributions. In this model, the fractal distributions of states are described by fractional generalizations of expectation values and normalization conditions. These generalizations use integrals of non-integer order.
