Levels of multi-continued fraction expansion of multi-formal Laurent series (Q2426468)

It is known that the multi-continued fraction expansion \(C(\underline{r})\) of a multi-formal Laurent series \(\underline r\) is a sequence pair \((\underline h,\underline \alpha)\) consisting of an index sequence hand a multipolynomial sequence \(\underline \alpha\). Furthermore the set of the different indices appearing infinitely many times in \(\underline h\) is denoted by \(H_\infty\), the set of the different indices appearing in \(\underline{h}\) is denoted by \(|H_+|\) while the first and the second levels of \(C(\underline r)\) are denoted by \(|H_\infty|\) and \(|H_+|\) respectively. The present paper is designed to study how the dimension and basis of the linear space over \(F(z)(F)\) spanned by the components of \(\underline r\) are determined by \(H_\infty(H_+)\) and moreover how the components are linearly dependent on the mentioned basis.
