Abstract: We study quadratic approximations for two families of hyperquadratic continued fractions in the field of Laurent series over a finite field. As the first application, we give the answer to a question of the second author concerning Diophantine exponents for algebraic Laurent series. As the second application, we determine the degrees of these families in particular case.


The authors study quadratic approximations for two families of hyperquadratic continued fractions in the field of Laurent series over a finite field. For a real number \(\xi\) and an integer \(n\ge 1\) denote by \(\omega_n(\xi)\) (resp., \(\omega^*_n(\xi)\) the supremum of the real numbers \(\omega\) (resp., \(\omega^*\)) with \[ 0\leq |P(\xi)|\le H(P)^{-\omega}(\text{resp. } 0\leq |\xi-\alpha|\le H(\alpha)^{-\omega^*-1}) \] for infinitely many polynomials \(P(X)\) with integer coefficients of degree at most \(n\) (resp. algebraic numbers \(\alpha\in\mathbb C\) of degree at most \(n\). \textit{T. Ooto} [J. Number Theory 185, 349--378 (2018; Zbl 1431.11089)] asked if it is true that \(\omega_n(\alpha)=\omega_n^*(\alpha)\) for an integer \(n\ge 1\) an algebraic Laurent series \(\alpha\in\mathbb F_q((T^{-1}))\). The authors give a negative answer to this question. As the second application, the authors determine the degrees of these two families of hyperquadratic continued fractions in particular case.
