Summary: In this paper we relate fractality with the small world effect. As an example we use the family of the Sierpinski graphs. We give basic properties of these graphs and calculate their fractal dimension using the box counting method. Furthermore we define a certain family of graphs which we call the Sierpinski small world graphs. These graphs retain the fractal dimension of the Sierpinski graphs and at the same time present the small world effect.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1123.00007].
