contents This paper studies the growth of local extrema of Laplacian eigenfunctions on post-critically finite (p.c.f.) fractals. We establish the sharp two-sided estimate $\#\mathrm{Extr}(u_λ)\asympλ^{d_S/2}$ for the Sierpinski gasket, demonstrating that the complexity of eigenfunctions is governed by the spectral dimension $d_S$. This behavior stands in sharp contrast to the corresponding growth law on Euclidean $n$-dimensional rectangles or balls. The attainment of the exponent $d_S/2$ reflects the high symmetry of the underlying fractal. Our result reveals a distinct spectral-geometric phenomenon on singular spaces.
