Аннотация:The problem of unbounded lengths of periods and quasi-periods of functional continued fractions constructed in the field of formal power series K((1/x)), for elements from a given hyperelliptic field L defined over a field K of characteristic different from 2 is solved. It is proved that if in the hyperelliptic field L there is an element with a periodic expansion into a functional continued fraction, then in the field L there is an element for which the length of the period of the continued fraction is greater than any predetermined number. As a consequence, a result is obtained on the unbounded lengths of periods in sequences of powers of incomplete quotients corresponding to the expansion into a functional continued fraction of elements of the field L.
