Review text

It is well-known that all paths connecting two points on fractal spaces are fractal curves themself and thus non-rectifiable. However, on certain p.c.f. (post critically finite) self-similar sets all ``shortest curves have the same Hausdorff dimension and so there is no other way to define ``interior distance than by Hausdorff measure. [For the notion p.c.f. sets see also \textit{J. Kigami}, J. Math. Soc. Japan Vol. 47, No. 3, 381-404 (1995; preceding review)]. The main part of this paper deals with the question how to determine the average interior distance of two points in certain self-similar sets. Roughly speaking, average distance on a self-similar set \(X\) is the expectation of the length of a shortest path joining two independent and equidistributed points [see \textit{A. M. Hinz} and \textit{A. Schief}, Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 87, No. 1, 129-138 (1990; Zbl 0711.60103)]. The authors introduce a simple renormalization scheme for the average distance of p.c.f. sets giving also several examples. Moreover, using some simple arguments they examine the \(n\)-dimensional Sierpiński space. [For Part 7 see Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 114, No. 4, 995-1001 (1992; Zbl 0823.28002)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0747.00029].
