“…Consider the Taylor expansion [2 ] A note on the Hadamard /cth root of a rational function 315 and suppose that there is a sequence (a' h ) of e lements of a finitely generated extension field F of Q so that a' h k = b h , h = 0,1,2,..., for some given positive integer k. Then it is (a generalisation of) a conjecture of Pisot, see [2], page 249 and also [3], [4], that there is a sequence (a h ) so that a\ = b h , h = 0,1,2,..., and T. h>o with the roots /?, distinct non-zero complex numbers and the multiplicities n i positive integers. Except perhaps if r(X), s(X) have common factors, the /}, are just the reciprocals of the poles of the given rational function.…”
