Transition probabilities for the simple random walk on the Sierpinski graph. (English) Zbl 0853.60058

Similar to the upper and lower bounds for the density of Brownian motion on the Sierpinski gasket [see M. T. Barlow and E. A. Perkins, Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 79, No. 4, 543-623 (1988; Zbl 0635.60090)], the transition probability \(p_t (x, y)\) of a simple random walk on the Sierpinski graph, a pre-fractal subgraph of the Sierpinski gasket, is obtained, as \(t>|x-y |\). A comparison of this result to that for a random walk on a general graph is shown.
