Abstract
This study investigates the interconnections between the traditional Fokker-Planck Equation (FPE) and its fractal counterpart (FFPE), utilizing fractal derivatives. By examining the continuous approximation of fractal derivatives in the FPE, it derives the Plastino-Plastino Equation (PPE), which is commonly associated with Tsallis Statistics. This work deduces the connections between the entropic index and the geometric quantities related to the fractal dimension. Furthermore, it analyzes the implications of these relationships on the dynamics of systems in fractal spaces. In order to assess the effectiveness of both equations, numerical solutions are compared within the context of complex systems dynamics, specifically examining the behaviours of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The FFPE provides an appropriate description of the dynamics of fractal systems by accounting for the fractal nature of the momentum space, exhibiting distinct behaviours compared to the traditional FPE due to the system's fractal nature. The findings indicate that the fractal equation and its continuous approximation yield similar results in studying dynamics, thereby allowing for interchangeability based on the specific problem at hand.
