- Description
- We prove a result concerning power series f(z) ∈ ℂ [[z]] satisfying a functional equation of the form [formula could not be replicated] where Ak(z) ∈ ℂ [z]. In particular, we show that if f(z) satisfies a minimal functional equation of the above form with n ≥ 2, then f(z) is necessarily transcendental. Towards a more complete classification, the case n = 1 is also considered.
