Dimer-monomer Model on the Towers of Hanoi Graphs

The number of dimer-monomers (matchings) of a graph $G$ is an important graph parameter in statistical physics. Following recent research, we study the asymptotic behavior of the number of dimer-monomers $m(G)$ on the Towers of Hanoi graphs and another variation of the Sierpiński graphs which is similar to the Towers of Hanoi graphs, and derive the recursion relations for the numbers of dimer-monomers. Upper and lower bounds for the entropy per site, defined as $μ_{G}=\lim_{v(G)\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\ln m(G)}{v(G)}$, where $v(G)$ is the number of vertices in a graph $G$, on these Sierpiński graphs are derived in terms of the numbers at a certain stage. As the difference between these bounds converges quickly to zero as the calculated stage increases, the numerical value of the entropy can be evaluated with more than a hundred significant figures accuracy.
