Review text

The author develops a new periodic algorithm for certain algebraic number fields and calculates units in these fields from its periodicity. This algorithm (abbr. ACF) is a modification of the Jacobi-Perron algorithm,(abbr. JPA), where for the first time the expanding of the complex (not only real) numbers was possible. The ACF discloses new units of which the already known ones by Bernstein, Halter-Koch, Halter-Koch and Stender are special cases, and it has the advantage that many results in the theory of units can be derived by means of a unified periodic algorithm. These units were also derived by Neubrand without using an algorithm.
