Our method is a combination of an argument based on the approach of Feng, Huang, and Rao, with a new result by Hochman, which is related to the increase of entropy of measures under convolutions.","PeriodicalId":48484,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fractal Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2016-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4171/jfg/63","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70871364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Freiberg, Jun Kigami","doi":"10.4171/JFG/61","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4171/JFG/61","url":null,"abstract":"The stretched Sierpinski gasket, SSG for short, is the space obtained by replacing every branching point of the Sierpinski gasket by an interval. It has also been called \"deformed Sierpinski gasket\" or \"Hanoi attractor\". As a result, it is the closure of a countable union of intervals and one might expect that a diffusion on SSG is essentially a kind of gluing of the Brownian motions on the intervals. In fact, there have been several works in this direction. There still remains, however, \"reminiscence\" of the Sierpinski gasket in the geometric structure of SSG and the same should therefore be expected for diffusions. This paper shows that this is the case. In this work, we identify all the completely symmetric resistance forms on SSG. A completely symmetric resistance form is a resistance form whose restriction to every contractive copy of SSG in itself is invariant under all geometrical symmetries of the copy, which constitute the symmetry group of the triangle. We prove that completely symmetric resistance forms on SSG can be sums of the Dirichlet integrals on the intervals with some particular weights, or a linear combination of a resistance form of the former kind and the standard resistance form on the Sierpinski gasket.","PeriodicalId":48484,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fractal Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2016-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4171/JFG/61","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70871223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We deal with p.c.f self-similar fractals, on which Kigami has constructed notions of energy and Laplacian. We develop generic results where we take the variance to be either the energy of $f$ or the $L^1$ norm of $Delta f$, and we show how to find the corresponding discrepancies for each variance.

Nussbaum","doi":"10.4171/JFG/62","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4171/JFG/62","url":null,"abstract":"We develop a new approach to the computation of the Hausdorff dimension of the invariant set of an iterated function system or IFS. In the one dimensional case, our methods require only C^3 regularity of the maps in the IFS. The key idea, which has been known in varying degrees of generality for many years, is to associate to the IFS a parametrized family of positive, linear, Perron-Frobenius operators L_s. The operators L_s can typically be studied in many different Banach spaces. Here, unlike most of the literature, we study L_s in a Banach space of real-valued, C^k functions, k >= 2; and we note that L_s is not compact, but has a strictly positive eigenfunction v_s with positive eigenvalue lambda_s equal to the spectral radius of L_s. Under appropriate assumptions on the IFS, the Hausdorff dimension of the invariant set of the IFS is the value s=s_* for which lambda_s =1. This eigenvalue problem is then approximated by a collocation method using continuous piecewise linear functions (in one dimension) or bilinear functions (in two dimensions). Using the theory of positive linear operators and explicit a priori bounds on the derivatives of the strictly positive eigenfunction v_s, we give rigorous upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension s_*, and these bounds converge to s_* as the mesh size approaches zero.","PeriodicalId":48484,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fractal Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2016-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4171/JFG/62","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70871282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
