Continued fractions of certain Mahler functions

Abstract

We investigate the continued fraction expansion of the infinite products $g(x) = x^{-1}\prod_{t=0}^\infty P(x^{-d^t})$ where polynomials $P(x)$ satisfy $P(0)=1$ and $\deg(P) 1$ such that $g(b)\neq0$ the irrationality exponent of $g(b)$ equals two. In the case $d=3$ we provide a partial analogue of the last result with several collections of polynomials $P(x)$ giving the irrationality exponent of $g(b)$ strictly bigger than two.
