Abstract

We study D0L power series over commutative semirings. We show that a sequence (cn)n≥0 of nonzero elements of a field A is the coefficient sequence of a D0L power series if and only if there exist a positive integer k and integers βi for 1 ≤ i ≤ k such that $c_{n+k}=c_{n+k-1}^{\beta_1}c_{n+k-2}^{\beta_2}\ldots c_n^{\beta_k}$ for all n ≥ 0. As a consequence we solve the equivalence problem of D0L power series over computable fields.
