Arithmetic properties of solutions of certain functional equations with transformations represented by matrices including a negative entry (Q743680)

Let \(\mathbb A\) be the set of all algebraic numbers. The paper deals with the conditions on an algebraic number \(\alpha\), such that for certain finite sets \(\mathbb A_i\subset\mathbb A\), and linear recurrences \(\{R_{i,n}\}_{n=0}^\infty\) of positive integers, \(i\in\{ 1,2\}\) the set \[ \left\{ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\zeta_i^n\alpha^{R_{i,n}}}{1-z_i\alpha^{R_{i,n}}}; z_i\in\mathbb A_i, \zeta_i\in\mathbb A, i\in\{ 1,2\right\}, 1<\mid \zeta_1\mid , 0<\mid \zeta _2\mid <1 \} \] is the set of algebraically independent numbers over the rational numbers. The proofs are in the spirit of Mahler's method.
