We shall give somecharacterizations of an algebraic function $fin K((x))$ over $K$.Let $L$ be a field of characteristic zero.

the freiheitssatz of magnus for one-relator groups is one of the cornerstones of combinatorial group theory. in this short note which is mostly expository we discuss the relationship between the freiheitssatz and corre-sponding results in free power series rings over fields. these are related to results of schneerson not readily available in english. this relationship uses a faithful representa...

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)

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.

In this paper, we will take a look at Salem elements dealing with formal power series on Fq, where Fq is finite field . Our main result, presents criteria for an element to be the smallest (SSE) via order extending given in Fq. Moreover, provide CFE of each n.
