Conformal Energy, Conformal Laplacian, and Energy Measures on the Sierpinski Gasket

چکیده
On the Sierpinski Gasket (SG) and related fractals, we define a notion of conformal energy Eφ and conformal Laplacian ∆φ for a given conformal factor φ, based on the corresponding notions in Riemannian geometry in dimension n 6= 2. We derive a differential equation that describes the dependence of the effective resistances of Eφ on φ. We show that the spectrum of∆φ (Dirichlet or Neumann) has similar asymptotics compared to the spectrum of the standard Laplacian, and also has similar spectral gaps (provided the function φ 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 Lp dimensions of these measures for integer values of p ≥ 2. We derive analogous linear extension algorithms for energy measures on related fractals.

Energy and Laplacian on the Sierpiński Gasket
This is an expository paper which includes several topics related to the Dirichlet form analysis on the Sierpiński gasket. We discuss the analog of the classical Laplacian; approximation by harmonic functions that gives a notion of a gradient; directional energies and an equipartition of energy; analysis with respect to the energy measure; harmonic coordinates; and non self-similar Dirichlet fo...
متن کاملBoundary Value Problems on a Half Sierpinski Gasket
We study boundary value problems for the Laplacian on a domain Ω consisting of the left half of the Sierpinski Gasket (SG), whose boundary is essentially a countable set of points X. For harmonic functions we give an explicit Poisson integral formula to recover the function from its boundary values, and characterize those that correspond to functions of finite energy. We give an explicit Dirich...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
متن کاملGradients of Laplacian Eigenfunctions on the Sierpinski Gasket
We use spectral decimation to provide formulae for computing the harmonic tangents and gradients of Laplacian eigenfunctions on the Sierpinski Gasket. These formulae are given in terms of special functions that are defined as infinite products.
متن کاملGeneralized eigenfunctions and a Borel Theorem on the Sierpinski Gasket.∗
There is a well developed theory (see [5, 9]) of analysis on certain types of fractal sets, of which the Sierpinski Gasket (SG) is the simplest non-trivial example. In this theory the fractals are viewed as limits of graphs, and notions analogous to the Dirichlet energy and the Laplacian are constructed as renormalized limits of the corresponding objects on the approximating graphs. The nature ...
