On the approximation of quasiperiodic functions with Diophantine frequencies by periodic functions

We present an analysis of the approximation error for a d-dimensional quasiperiodic function f with Diophantine frequencies, approximated by a periodic function with period [0,L)^d. When f has a certain regularity, its global behavior can be described by a finite number of Fourier components and has a polynomial decay at infinity. The dominant part of periodic approximation error is bounded by O(L^-1/s), where L belongs to the best simultaneous approximation sequence of Fourier frequencies and s is the number of different irrational elements in Fourier frequencies. Meanwhile, we discuss the optimal approximation rate. Finally, these analytical results are verified by some examples.
