Abstract:
We construct a family of self-repelling and self-attracting walks (stochastic chains) on the (infinite) pre-{\sg}. The family continuously interpolates the simple random walk and a self-avoiding walk. The asymptotic behavior of the walks is given in terms of the displacement exponent.

Keywords: self-repelling walk, self-avoiding walk, self-attracting walk, Sierpinski gasket, displacement exponent, mean-square displacement
