Abstract
We derive exactly the number of Hamiltonian paths H(n) on the two dimensional Sierpinski gasket SG(n) at stage , whose asymptotic behavior is given by . We also obtain the number of Hamiltonian paths with one end at a certain outmost vertex of SG(n), with asymptotic behavior . The distribution of Hamiltonian paths on SG(n) with one end at a certain outmost vertex and the other end at an arbitrary vertex of SG(n) is investigated. We rigorously prove that the exponent for the mean displacement between the two end vertices of such Hamiltonian paths on SG(n) is for .
