The characters are first split into eight typographical categories. The classification scheme uses pattern matching to classify the characters in each category into a set of fuzzy prototypes based on a nonlinear weighted similarity function.

For any Pisot number β it is known that the set F（β） ={t ： limn→∞‖tβn‖ = 0} is countable, where ‖α‖ is the distance between a real number a and the set of integers.

In this paper it is proved that every member in this set is of the form cβn, where n is a nonnegative integer and e is determined by a linear system of equations. Furthermore, for some self-similar measures μ associated with β, the limit at infinity of the Fourier transforms limn→μ（tβn）≠0 if and only if t is in a certain subset of F（β）. This generalizes a similar result of Huang and Strichartz.展开更多
