It is well known that if the ${\beta}$-expansion of any nonnegative integer is finite, then ${\beta}$ is a Pisot or Salem number. We prove here that $\mathbb{F}_q((x^{-1}))$, the ${\beta}$-expansion of the polynomial part of ${\beta}$ is finite if and only if ${\beta}$ is a Pisot series. Consequently we give an other proof of Scheiche theorem about finiteness property in $\mathbb{F}_q((x^{-1}))$. Finally we show that if the base ${\beta}$ is a Pisot series, then there is a bound of the length of the fractional part of ${\beta}$-expansion of any polynomial P in $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$.

In [6], it is proved that the lengths of periods occurring in the ${\beta}$-expansion of a rational series r noted by $Per_{\beta}(r)$ depend only on the denominator of the reduced form of r for quadratic Pisot unit series. In this paper, we will show first that every rational r in the unit disk has strictly periodic ${\beta}$-expansion for Pisot or Salem unit basis under some condition. Second, for this basis, if $r=\frac{P}{Q}$ is written in reduced form with |P| < |Q|, we will generalize the curious property "$Per_{\beta}(\frac{P}{Q})=Per_{\beta}(\frac{1}{Q})$".

Our paper is devoted to the study of certain diophantine equations on the ring of polynomials over a finite field, which are intimately related to algebraic formal power series which have partial quotients of unbounded degree in their continued fraction expansion. In particular it is shown that there are Pisot formal power series with degree greater than 2, having infinitely many large partial quotients in their simple continued fraction expansions. This generalizes an earlier result of Baum and Sweet for algebraic formal power series.
