The length of the continued fraction expansion for a class of rational functions in
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Abstract
A study is made of the length L(h, k) of the continued fraction algorithm for h/k where h and k are co-prime polynomials in a finite field. In addition we investigate the sum of the degrees of the partial quotients in this expansion for h/k, h, k in . The above continued fraction is determined by means of the Euclidean algorithm for the polynomials h, k in .
