We consider criteria for the differentiability of functions with continuous Laplacian on the Sierpitiski Gasket and its higher-dimensional variants SG(N), N > 3, proving results that generalize those of Teplyaev (Gradients on fractals, J. Funct. Anal. 174(1) (2000) 128-1541. When SG(N) is equipped with the standard Dirichlet form and measure mu, we show there is a full mu-measure set on which continuity of the Laplacian implies existence of the gradient del u, and that this set is not all of SG(N). We also show there is a class of non-uniform measures on the usual Sierphiski Gasket with the property that continuity of the Laplacian implies the gradient exists and is continuous everywhere in sharp contrast to the case with the standard measure.
