We exhibit explicitly the continued fraction expansion of some algebraic
power series over a finite field. We also discuss some Diophantine equations
on the ring of polynomials, which are intimately related to these power
series.
Abstract.In this paper, we study rational approximations for certain algebraic power series over a finite field. We obtain results for irrational elements of strictly positive degree satisfying an equation of the typewhere (A, B, C) ∊ (𝔽q[X])2 × 𝔽*q [X]. In particular, under some conditions on the polynomials A, B and C, we will give well approximated elements satisfying this equation.
