Abstract:
We consider a simplex-modular algorithm ($\mathcal{SM}$-algorithm)
for the decomposition of algebraic numbers
$\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_d)$ into multidimensional periodic
continued fractions. The $\mathcal{SM}$-algorithm is based on the
following: 1) the minimal rational simplexes $\mathbf{s}$ that
contain the point $\alpha$; 2) integer unimodular Pisot matrices
$P_{\alpha}$ for which $\widehat{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_d,1)$ is an eigenvector.
The $\mathcal{SM}$-algorithm is a flexible algorithm. This algorithm
gives the best approximation of order
$1/Q^{1+\varepsilon}_{a}$, where $Q_a$$(a=0,1,2,\ldots)$
are denominators of the convergents and $\varepsilon>0$ depends on
the settings of the $\mathcal{SM}$-algorithm.
