We define a basis for the space of polynomials, the monomials, characterized by the property that a certain \"derivative\" is 1 at one of the boundary points, while all other \"derivatives\" vanish, and we compute the values of the monomials at the boundary points of $SG$. We then present some data which suggest surprising relationships between the values of the monomials at the boundary and certain Neumann eigenvalues of the family of symmetric self-similar Laplacians. Surprisingly, the results for the general case are quite different from the results for the Kigami Laplacian.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-25T02:25:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80" ], "keywords": [ "sierpinski gasket", "polynomials", "boundary points", "standard kigami laplacian", "symmetric self-similar laplacians" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
