Effective bounds for the zeros of linear recurrences in function fields
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 17 (2005) no. 3, pp. 749-766.

Dans cet article, on utilise la généralisation de l’inégalité de Mason (due à Brownawell et Masser [8]) afin d’exhiber des bornes supérieures effectives pour les zéros d’une suite linéaire récurrente définie sur un corps de fonctions à une variable.

De plus, on étudie de problèmes similairs dans ce contexte, comme l’équation G n (x)=G m (P(x)),(m,n) 2 , où (G n (x)) est une suite récurrente de polynômes et P(x) un polynôme fixé. Ce problème a été étudié auparavant dans [14,15,16,17,32].

In this paper, we use the generalisation of Mason’s inequality due to Brownawell and Masser (cf. [8]) to prove effective upper bounds for the zeros of a linear recurring sequence defined over a field of functions in one variable.

Moreover, we study similar problems in this context as the equation G n (x)=G m (P(x)),(m,n) 2 , where (G n (x)) is a linear recurring sequence of polynomials and P(x) is a fixed polynomial. This problem was studied earlier in [14,15,16,17,32].
