The finite-or-periodic conjecture for the p-adic Jacobi–Perron algorithm

Let m1m\geq 1, and let 1,α0(1),,α0(m)1,\alpha_0^{(1)},\ldots,\alpha_0^{(m)} be pp-adic numbers that are linearly dependent over Q\mathbb{Q}. The finite-or-periodic conjecture. The pp-adic Jacobi–Perron algorithm on input (α0(1),,α0(m))(\alpha_0^{(1)},\ldots,\alpha_0^{(m)}) is either finite or periodic. This conjecture concerns the unresolved behavior of the algorithm on Q\mathbb{Q}-linearly dependent inputs: the source reports no observed infinite, nonperiodic example and explicitly describes the conjecture as still open.
