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.

AbstractLet 𝔽q be the finite field of q elements. An analogue of the regular continued fraction expansion for an element α in the field of formal Laurent series over 𝔽q is given uniquely by $$\alpha = A_0(\alpha ) + \displaystyle{1 \over {A_1(\alpha ) + \displaystyle{1 \over {A_2(\alpha ) + \ddots }}}},$$ where $(A_{n}(\alpha))_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of polynomials with coefficients in 𝔽q such that deg(An(α)) ⩾ 1 for all n ⩾ 1. In this paper, we provide quantitative versions of metrical results regarding averages of partial quotients. A sample result we prove is that, given any ϵ > 0, we have $$\vert A_1(\alpha ) \ldots A_N(\alpha )\vert ^{1/N} = q^{q/(q - 1)} + o(N^{ - 1/2}(\log N)^{3/2 + {\rm \epsilon }})$$ for almost everywhere α with respect to Haar measure.

In this paper we study another form in the field of formal power series over a finite field. If the continued fraction of a formal power seriesin $\mathbb{F}_q((X^{-1}))$ begins with sufficiently largegeometric blocks, then $f$ is transcendental.

Basic Properties

We consider the Diophantine equation of the formx2−Dy2=c, wherec=±1,±2, and provide a generalization of results of Lagrange with elementary proofs using only basic properties of simple continued fractions. As a consequence, we achieve a completely general, simple, and elegant criterion for the central norm to be2in the simple continued fraction expansion ofD.

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.

Abstract.Dufresnoy and Pisot characterized the smallest Pisot number of degree n ≥ 3 by giving explicitly its minimal polynomial. In this paper, we translate Dufresnoy and Pisot’s result to the Laurent series case. The aim of this paper is to prove that the minimal polynomial of the smallest Pisot element (SPE) of degree n in the field of formal power series over a finite field is given by P(Y) = Yn–XYn-1–αn where α is the least element of the finite field 픽q\{0} (as a finite total ordered set). We prove that the sequence of SPEs of degree n is decreasing and converges to αX: Finally, we show how to obtain explicit continued fraction expansion of the smallest Pisot element over a finite field.
