We study two obstacle problems involving the p-Laplace operator in domains with n-th pre-fractal and fractal boundary. We perform asymptotic analysis for $p \to \infty $ and $n \to \infty $.

Keywords: Fractals, degenerate elliptic equations, variational methods for second-order elliptic equations, quasilinear elliptic equations with p-Laplacian, asymptotic behavior of solutions.
