Abstract

We study the Laplace operator on the Sierpinski gasket with nonlinear Robin boundary conditions. We show that for certain Robin boundary conditions the Laplace operator generates a positive, order preserving, LL^\infty-contractive semigroup which is sandwiched (in the sense of domination) between the semigroups generated by the Dirichlet-Laplace operator and the Neumann-Laplace operator. We also characterise all local semigroups which are sandwiched between these two extremal semigroups by showing that their generators are Robin-Laplace operators.
