Energy Forms on Non Self-similar Fractals

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications ((PNLDE,volume 63))

Abstract

Some recent results on the construction of energy forms on certain classes of non self-similar fractal sets are presented. In order to overcome the lack of self-similarity, the energy for these sets is obtained by integrating a Lagrangian.
