Given an odd prime number p, we describe a continued fraction in the field F(p) of power series in 1/T with coefficients in the finite field F_p, where T is a formal indeterminate. This continued fraction satisfies an algebraic equation of…
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
Considering an arbitrary pair of distinct and non constant polynomials, $a$ and $b$ in $\mathbb{F}_2[t]$, we build a continued fraction in $\mathbb{F}_2((1/t))$ whose partial quotients are only equal to $a$ or $b$. In a previous work of the…
Casually introduced thirty years ago, a simple algebraic equation of degree 4, with coefficients in Fp[T], has a solution in the field of power series in 1/T, over the finite field Fp. For each prime p > 3, the continued fraction expansion…
In this paper, we examine the unimodality and strict unimodality of certain formal bivariate Laurent series with non-negative coefficients. We show that the sets of these formal bivariate Laurent series form commutative semirings under the…
We discuss continued fractions on real quadratic number fields of class number 1. If the field has the property of being 2-stage euclidean, a generalization of the euclidean algorithm can be used to compute these continued fractions.…
It is known that the continued fraction expansion of a real number is periodic if and only if the number is a quadratic irrational. In an attempt to generalize this phenomenon to other settings, Jun-Ichi Tamura and Shin-Ichi Yasutomi have…
In this paper we give a general upper bound for the irrationality exponent of algebraic Laurent series with coefficients in a finite field. Our proof is based on a method introduced in a different framework by Adamczewski and Cassaigne. It…
We are concerned with power series in 1/T over a finite field of 3 elements $\F_3$. In a previous article, Alain Lasjaunias investigated the existence of particular power series of elements algebraic over $\F_3[T]$, having all partial…
We explicitly describe a noteworthy transcendental continued fraction in the field of power series over Q, having irrationality measure equal to 3. This continued fraction is a generating function of a particular sequence in the set {1, 2}.…
This paper is devoted to a complete parametric study of Liouvillian solutions of the general trace-free second order differential equation with a Laurent polynomial coefficient. This family of equations, for fixed orders at $0$ and $\infty$…
Let $a, b$ be distinct, non-constant polynomials in ${\mathbb F}_2 [z]$. Let $\xi_{a, b}$ be the power series in ${\mathbb F}_2((z^{-1}))$ whose sequence of partial quotients is the Thue-Morse sequence over $\{a, b\}$. We establish that…
We discuss the form of certain algebraic continued fractions in the field of power series over $F_p$, where p is an odd prime number. This leads to give explicit continued fractions in these fields, satisfying an explicit algebraic equation…
The first part of this note is a short introduction on continued fraction expansions for certain algebraic power series. In the last part, as an illustration, we present a family of algebraic continued fractions of degree 4, including a toy…
The properties of continued fractions whose partial quotients belong to a quadratic number field K are distinct from those of classical continued fractions. Unlike classical continued fractions, it is currently impossible to identify…
In this work, we study a continued fractions theory for the topological completion of the field of Puiseux series. As usual, we prove that any element in the completion can be developed as a unique continued fractions, whose coefficients…
Classical results on Diophantine approximation, such as Roth's theorem, provide the most effective techniques for proving the transcendence of special kinds of continued fractions. Multidimensional continued fractions are a generalization…
Multidimensional continued fractions generalize classical continued fractions with the aim of providing periodic representations of algebraic irrationalities by means of integer sequences. However, there does not exist any algorithm that…
We develop a theory of $p$-adic continued fractions for a quaternion algebra $B$ over $\mathbb Q$ ramified at a rational prime $p$. Many properties holding in the commutative case can be proven also in this setting. In particular, we focus…
There are abundant results on Diophantine approximation over fields of positive characteristic (see the survey papers [13, 25]), but there is very little information about simultaneous approximation. In this paper, we develop a technique of…
