One of the most interesting application of statistical mechanical concepts is the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe. Most of its properties have been obtained by a statistical correlation analysis for catalogs of galaxies and clusters [1,2]. The galaxies are considered as the smallest individual entities and their distribution is characterized by points in the 3-dimensional Euclidian space. The standard analysis consists in the calculation of two - point correlation function
Observations show, that C(r) can be approximated by a power law
This fact is the basis for the assumption about of a fractal structure of the universe [2].
At first the use of walk method for mathematical simulating such distribution of galaxies was offered by Mandelbrot [3]. The process starts from choosing the position where the first galaxy to be, the next galaxy is placed in a random isotropic direction and at a random distance l from the previous one while l is chosen from the distribution
This procedure repeats many (maybe infinitely large number of) times and every time the value and direction of l are independently chosen. Based on such probability distribution the model cannot be solved exactly.
In present work it is shown that choice of 3-dimensional spherically symmetric stable distribution , having the same asymptotic behaviour as power law , instead of the leads to exact analytical expressions for irreducible correlation functions of different orders and the cut off probability 1 - q at each step:
Here is the average number of all the particles per unit volume, and means the summation over all n! permutations of the arguments.
The characteristic exponent of stable law so the stable distribution densities form a whole family. The distribution is a normal (Gauss') law, is Cauchy's law. Other distributions cannot be expressed in elementary functions and are calculated and tabulated in this work.
