Abstract: While Roth's theorem states that the irrationality measure of all the irrational algebraic numbers is 2, and the same holds true over function fields in characteristic zero, some counter-examples were found over function fields in positive characteristic. This was put forward first by Mahler in 1949, in his fundamental paper on Diophantine approximation cite{M}. It seems that, except for particular elements, as power series with bounded partial quotients, Roth's theorem holds. Until now, only one element, with unbounded partial quotients, discovered by Mills and Robbins cite{MR} in 1986, has been recognized having this property. It concerns a quartic power series over having a continued fraction expansion with remarkable pattern. This continued fraction expansion was explicitly described by Buck and Robbins cite{BR}, and later by Lasjaunias cite{LA2} who used another method somewhat easier. Furthermore, Lasjaunias cite{LA2} improve the value of its irrationality measure in relation with Roth's theorem. We will see that this power series is included in a large quartic power series family, for which the continued fraction expansion and the irrationality measure can be explicitly given. Moreover, we will study the rational approximation of other examples of quartic power series over and we will extend the set of counter-examples initiated by Mahler.
