Review text

This paper is inspired by \textit{V. I. Arnold}'s [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 42, 993-1000 (1989; Zbl 0692.16012)] reconsideration of the Klein-Poincaré geometric generalization of the ordinary continued fraction to higher dimensions. The author shows that with respect to the particular algorithm used, the analog of the expansion of the golden ratio is unique and is indeed the simplest expansion in this setting. The algorithm is based upon the combinatorics of the faces of the boundaries of the convex hull of the integer coordinates in \({\mathbb{R}}^n\) lying within simplicial cones cut out by \((n-1)\)-hyperplanes. The discussion given here is quite clear.
