A Multidimensional Generalization of Lagrange's Theorem on Continued Fractions
A. V. Bykovskaya M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics
Abstract:
A multidimensional geometric analog of Lagrange's theorem on continued fractions is proposed. The multidimensional generalization of the geometric interpretation of a continued fraction uses the notion of a Klein polyhedron, that is, the convex hull of the set of nonzero points in the lattice $\mathbb Z^n$ contained inside some $n$-dimensional simplicial cone with vertex at the origin. A criterion for the semiperiodicity of the boundary of a Klein polyhedron is obtained, and a statement about the nonempty intersection of the boundaries of the Klein polyhedra corresponding to a given simplicial cone and to a certain modification of this cone is proved.
Keywords:
Lagrange's theorem on continued fractions, Klein polyhedron, simplicial cone, sail, hyperbolic operator, eigenbasis, eigencone, integer lattice, semiperiodic boundary.
