1. Continued fractions in fields of series. While some deep work has been done on continued fractions in power series fields, there does not seem to exist a general introduction, or an easily accessible account of Serret’s Theorem or Lagrange’s Theorem in this case. We therefore will start with the (obvious) definitions, and set some notation. But see also [12]. Whenever possible, we will try to stay close to the approach in Perron’s classical treatise [19]. We define rational functions in variables Z0, Z1, . . . by (1) [Z0] = Z0, [Z0, Z1] = Z0 + 1/Z1, (1.1) [Z0, Z1, . . . , Zn] = [Z0, . . . , Zn−2, Zn−1 + 1/Zn] (n ≥ 2). (1.2)
