Continued fractions and parametric geometry of numbers

Abstract: Recently, W. M. Schmidt and L. Summerer developed a new theory called Parametric Geometry of Numbers which approximates the behaviour of the successive minima of a family of convex bodies in mathbbRn related to the problem of simultaneous rational approximation to given real numbers. In the case of one number, we show that the qualitative behaviour of the minima reflects the continued fraction expansion of the smallest distance from this number to an integer.
