RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dimensions and measure. He started his research by working on dimensions and measures of fractal sets, particularly on self-similar sets and self-similar measures with overlapping structures. Under a assumption of the so called weak separation condition, using self-similar tilings as auxiliary systems, They work out a rather general method to derive the graph-directed structures of self-affine sets with overlaps; many applications are found, for example, to study the smoothness of the density of a self-similar measure.
Self-similar tilings. Since 1998 he has been interested in tiling theory. He mainly study two kinds of self-similar tilings.
The first is the self-affine tiling, which is generated by an expanding matrix and a digits set. They describe the structure of the translation sets and characterize the IFS's which generates tilings (i.e., satisfy open set condition).
The second is tilings by atomic surface of Pisot unit substitution. Atomic surfaces are also called Rauzy fractals. They use atomic surfaces to construct self-similar tilings and Markov partitions. He is interested in the applications of tiling theory in number theory, for example, the arithmetic properties of beta-expansions. The relation between the combinatorial properties of substitutions, the dynamical properties and tiling properties of the atomic surface is an interesting object.
Words and complexity. He is interested in the complexities of words, especially words with low complexities. The theory of atomic surfaces is used to study the properties of Sturmian sequence. I also work on pattern complexity, a new complexity introduced by T. Kamae.
