Here we are going to study Sierpinski-like Gaskets made from Pascal-like triangles.
 
We let p = 3 and v = 1, and make a triangle by U(p,n,m,v) for natural numbers n,m with n≤7 and m≤n. Then we get the following Figure 3.
 
If we calculate each U(p,n,m,v), then we get the following Figure 4.
 
If we calculate the least nonnegative residues of numbers in Figure 4 taken modulo 2, then we get the following Figure 5.
In the 20th century Professor Waclaw Sierpinski discovered the Sierpinski Gaskets.
 
In the 21th century the authors discovered Sierpinski-like Gaskets.
When authors discovered this gasket, they did not know the original Sierpinski Gasket, and the teacher was very surprised!
This Sierpinski like Gaskets can make a beautiful movie.
See the movie in the Gallery.
The above is a Sierpinski-like gaskets. If we express numbers with different colors, then we get a beautiful triangle.
If you add more rows, the triangle becomes more beautiful.

Figure(5)
If we make gaskets for different natural number p, and by using these gaskets we can make a movie.
In this movie the picture is very similar to Sierpinski Gasket, but gradually the difference becomes bigger.
Sierpinski-like gaskets is very different from Sierpinski Gasket in one point.
Some mathematicians are interested in these Sierpinski-like gaskets from the point of cellular automaton.
Sierpinski-like gaskets have a kind of boundary condition to produce numbers.
