Crossing numbers of Sierpiński graphs S ( n , k ) and their regularizations S + ( n , k ) and S ++ ( n , k ) are studied. Drawings of these graphs are presented and proved to be optimal for S + ( n , k ) and S ++ ( n , k ) for every n ≥ 1 and k ≥ 1. The crossing numbers of these graphs are expressed in terms of the crossing number of K k +1 . These are the first nontrivial families of graphs of “fractal” type whose crossing number is known. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory
