Abstract: The construction of a Laplacian on a class of fractals which includes the Sierpinski gasket ({�f $SG$}) has given rise to an intensive research on analysis on fractals. For instance, a complete theory of polynomials and power series on $SG$ has been developed by one of us and his coauthors. We build on this body of work to construct certain analogs of classical orthogonal polynomials (OP) on $SG$. In particular, we investigate key properties of these OP on $SG$, including a three-term recursion formula and the asymptotics of the coefficients appearing in this recursion. Moreover, we develop numerical tools that allow us to graph a number of these OP. Finally, we use these numerical tools to investigate the structure of the zero and the nodal sets of these polynomials.

Review text

Orthogonal polynomials are an interesting topic in fractal analysis, functional analysis, and wavelet theory. It has aroused the attention of many people who are interested in fractal analysis. The construction of a Laplacian on a class of fractals which includes the Sierpinski gasket (\textbf{\(SG\)}) has given rise to intensive research on the analysis of fractals. For instance, a complete theory of polynomials and power series on \(SG\) has been developed by one of the authors and his coauthors. The authors of the paper under review build on this body of work to construct certain analogs of classical orthogonal polynomials (OP) on \(SG\). In particular, they investigate key properties of these OP on \(SG\), including a three-term recursion formula and the asymptotics of the coefficients appearing in this recursion. Moreover, they develop numerical tools that allow us to plot a number of these OP. Finally, they use these numerical tools to investigate the structure of the zero and the nodal sets of these polynomials. The results are interesting.
