3 Notations Let f i : R d R d contractions with same ratio r, i S = {1,..., m}, and E the belonging invariant set. Set S n := {(u i ) i=1,...,n u i S i = 1,..., n}, S := n N S n. For u := u 1... u n S define f u := f u1... f un and E u := f u (E). Example (Christmas tree fractal) f i : C C, i = 1, 2, 3 f i (z) = a(z + c i ) with c i = e 2π(i 1) 3, a = 1/( i 3 2 ) Hung, Mesing (Greifswald) Analysis on Finite Type Fractals Fractal Analysis / 23

4 Motivation Harmonic functions on Sierpinski gasket New approach Regard functions on points of E. Calculate the values at new points by averaging rules: g(x) = g(a)+2g(b)+2g(c) 5 g(y) = 2g(a)+g(b)+2g(c) 5 g(z) = 2g(a)+2g(b)+g(c) 5 Regard functions on subpieces of E.
