Formal Power Series

چکیده
The set S[[x]] of formal power series in x over a set S is the set of functions from the nonnegative integers to S. However, the way that we represent elements of S[[x]] will be as an infinite series, and operations in S[[x]] will be closely linked to the addition and multiplication of finite-degree polynomials. This paper will introduce a bit of the structure of sets of formal power series and then transfer over to a discussion of generating functions in combinatorics.

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic$p>0$, $K[[x]]$, the ring of formal power series over $ K$,$K((x))$, the quotient field of $ K[[x]]$, and $ K(x)$ the fieldof rational functions over $K$.

The power series $finL[[x]]$ is called differentially algebraic, if it satisfies...
متن کاملALGEBRAIC INDEPENDENCE OF CERTAIN FORMAL POWER SERIES (I)
We give a proof of the generalisation of Mendes-France and Van der Poorten's recent result over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic and then by extending a result of Carlitz, we shall introduce a class of algebraically independent series.

We shall extend the results of [5] and prove that if f = Z o a x ? Z [[X]] is algebraic over Q (x), where a = 1, ƒ 1 and if ? , ? ,..., ? are p-adic integers, then 1 ? , ? ,..., ? are linkarly independent over Q if and only if (1+x) ,(1+x) ,…,(1+x) are algebraically independent over Q (x) if and only if f , f ,.., f are algebraically independent over Q (x)
متن کاملHybrid Formal Power Series and Their Application to Realization Theory of Hybrid Systems
The paper presents the abstract framework of hybrid formal power series. Hybrid formal power series are analogous to non-commutative formal power series. Formal power series are widely used in control systems theory. In particular, theory of formal power series is the main tool for solving the realization problem for linear and bilinear control systems. The theory of hybrid formal power series ...
متن کاملRational Transformations of Formal Power Series
Formal power series are an extension of formal languages. Recognizable formal power series can be captured by the so-called weighted finite automata, generalizing finite state machines. In this paper, motivated by codings of formal languages, we introduce and investigate two types of transformations for formal power series. We characterize when these transformations preserve rationality, genera...
