On a particular hyperquadratic continued fraction in F(p) with p>2

Abstract

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 Fp, where T is a formal indeterminate. This continued fraction satisfies an algebraic equation of a particular type, with coefficients in Fp[T] which are explicitely given. We observe the close connection with other algebraic continued fractions studied thirty years ago by Mills and Robbins.
