Abstract: | On the Sierpinski Gasket (SG) and related fractals, we define a notion of conformal energy and conformal Laplacian for a given conformal factor , based on the corresponding notions in Riemannian geometry in dimension . We derive a differential equation that describes the dependence of the effective resistances of on . We show that the spectrum of (Dirichlet or Neumann) has similar asymptotics compared to the spectrum of the standard Laplacian, and also has similar spectral gaps (provided the function does not vary too much). We illustrate these results with numerical approximations. We give a linear extension algorithm to compute the energy measures of harmonic functions (with respect to the standard energy), and as an application we show how to compute the dimensions of these measures for integer values of . We derive analogous linear extension algorithms for energy measures on related fractals. |
