Abstract
We calculate the spectral dimension of a wide class of tree-like fract als by solving the random walk problem using a new analytical techniqu e, based on invariance under generalized cutting-decimation transforma tions. These fractals are generalizations of the NTD lattices and they are characterized by noninteger spectral dimension equal to or greate r than 2, nonanomalous diffusion laws, dynamical dimension splitting a nd the absence of phase transitions for spin models.
