Asymptotics for coefficients of algebraic functions (Q762487)

''Many enumeration problems can be studied using generating functions. In some such problems it is possible to develop a collection of n related generating functions that satisfy a system of n polynomial equations. This paper explores some properties of functional equations that can be used to handle such situations.'' ''We first present a method to derive a polynomial equation in \(x_ 1\) alone from a system of n polynomial equations in \(x_ 1,...,x_ n\). We confine our attention to polynomials with coefficients from the ring Z[x], but the method applies to a more general situation. (Z[x] represents the set of polynomials in x with integer coefficients.) The second concern is to find or estimate the radius of convergence of an algebraic function given a polynomial equation it satisfies.''
