Abstract: | We study the extension problem on the Sierpinski Gasket (SG). In the first part we consider minimizing the functional (mathcal {E}_{lambda }(f) = mathcal {E}(f,f) + lambda int f^{2} d mu ) with prescribed values at a finite set of points where (mathcal {E}) denotes the energy (the analog of (int |nabla f|^{2}) in Euclidean space) and μ denotes the standard self-similiar measure on SG. We explicitly construct the minimizer (f(x) = sum _{i} c_{i} G_{lambda }(x_{i}, x)) for some constants c i , where G λ is the resolvent for λ≥0. We minimize the energy over sets in SG by calculating the explicit quadratic form (mathcal {E}(f)) of the minimizer f. We consider properties of this quadratic form for arbitrary sets and then analyze some specific sets. One such set we consider is the bottom row of a graph approximation of SG. We describe both the quadratic form and a discretized form in terms of Haar functions which corresponds to the continuous result established in a previous paper. In the second part, we study a similar problem this time minimizing (int _{SG} |Delta f(x)|^{2} d mu (x)) for general measures. In both cases, by using standard methods we show the existence and uniqueness to the minimization problem. We then study properties of the unique minimizers. |
