This paper studies the size of the minimal gap between any two consecutive eigenvalues in the Dirichlet and in the Neumann spectrum of the standard Laplace operator on the Sierpinski gasket. The main result shows the remarkable fact that this minimal gap is achieved and coincides with the spectral gap. The Dirichlet case is more challenging and requires some key observations in the behavior of the dynamical system that describes the spectrum.

Disconnected Julia sets and gaps in the spectrum of Laplacians on symmetric finitely ramified fractals
• Mathematics
• 2011
It is known that Laplacian operators on many fractals have gaps in their spectra. This fact precludes the possibility that a Weyl-type ratio can have a limit and is also a key ingredient in proving
Criteria for Spectral Gaps of Laplacians on Fractals
Surprisingly, Fourier series on certain fractals can have better convergence properties than classical Fourier series. This is a result of the existence of gaps in the spectrum of the Laplacian. In

We discuss two heuristic ideas concerning the spectrum of a Laplacian, and we give theorems and conjectures from the realms of manifolds, graphs and fractals that validate these heuristics. The first

It has been realized that fractals may be characterized by complex dimensions, arising from complex poles of the corresponding zeta function, and we show here that these lead to oscillatory behavior
