We study the spectra of a two-parameter family of self-similar Laplacians on the Sierpinski gasket (SG) with twists. By this we mean that instead of the usual IFS that yields SG as its invariant set, we compose each mapping with a reflection to obtain a new IFS that still has SG as its invariant set, but changes the definition of self-similarity. Using recent results of Cucuringu and Strichartz, we are able to approximate the spectra of these Laplacians by two different methods. To each Laplacian we associate a self-similar embedding of SG into the plane, and we present experimental evidence that the method of outer approximation, recently introduced by Berry, Goff and Strichartz, when applied to this embedding, yields the spectrum of the Laplacian (up to a constant multiple).

The eccentric distance sum is concerned with complex networks. To obtain the asymptotic formula of eccentric distance sum on growing Sierpiński networks, we study some nonlinear integral in terms of self-similar measure on the Sierpiński gasket and use the self-similarity of distance and measure to obtain the exact value of this integral.

Fractals play a central role in several areas of modern physics and mathematics. In the present work we explore resistive circuits where the individual resistors are arranged in fractal-like patterns. These circuits have some of the characteristics typically found in geometric fractals, namely self-similarity and scale invariance. Considering resistive circuits as graphs, we propose a definition of self-similar circuits which mimics a self-similar fractal. General properties of the resistive circuits generated by this approach are investigated, and interesting examples are commented in detail. Specifically, we consider self-similar resistive series, tree-like resistive networks and Sierpinski’s configurations with resistors.

This paper discusses the asymptotic formula of average distances on node-weighted Sierpinski skeleton networks by using the integral of geodesic distance in terms of self-similar measure on the Sierpinski gasket with respect to the weight vector.

AbstractWe investigate the spectral properties of matrices associated with comb graphs. We show that the adjacency matrices and adjacency matrix Laplacians of the sequences of graphs show a spectral similarity relationship in the sense of work by L. Malozemov and A. Teplyaev (Self-similarity, operators and dynamics,Math. Phys. Anal. Geometry6(2003), 201–218), and hence these sequences of graphs show a spectral decimation property similar to that of the Laplacians of the Sierpiński gasket graph and other fractal graphs.

In mathematics, analysis on fractals was originated by the works of Kusuoka [17] and Goldstein[8]. They constructed the ‘Brownian motion on the Sierpinski gasket’ as a scaling limit of random walks on the pre-gaskets. Since then, analytical structures such as diffusion processes, Laplacians and Dirichlet forms on self-similar sets have been studied from both probabilistic and analytical viewpoints by many authors, see [4], [20], [10], [22] and [7]. As far as finitely ramified fractals, represented by the Sierpinski gasket, are concerned, we now know how to construct analytical structures on them due to the results in [20], [18] and [11]. In particular, for the nested fractals introduced by Lindstrøm [20], one can study detailed features of analytical structures such as the spectral dimensions and various exponents of heat kernels by virtue of the strong symmetry of nested fractals, cf. [6] and [15]. Furthermore in [11], Kigami proposed a notion of post critically finite (p.c.f. for short) self-similar sets, which was a pure topological description of finitely ramified self-similar sets. Also it was shown that we can construct Dirichlet forms and Laplacians on a p.c.f. self-similar set if there exists a difference operator that is invariant under a kind of renormalization. This invariant difference operator was called a harmonic structure. In Section 2, we will give a review of the results in [11].

In recent years, intrinsic metrics have been described on various fractals with different formulas. The Sierpinski gasket is given as one of the fundamental models which defined the intrinsic metrics on them via the code representations of the points. In this paper, we obtain the explicit formulas of the intrinsic metrics on some self-similar sets (but not strictly self-similar), which are composed of different combinations of equilateral and right Sierpinski gaskets, respectively, by using the code representations of their points. We then express geometrical properties of these structures on their code sets and also give some illustrative examples.

The potential to incorporate dendritic characteristics, such as self-similarity into new fractal-based materials is exemplified in the self-assembly of novel, polyterpyridine-based, building blocks.
