Effective Algebraicity for Solutions of Systems of Functional Equations with one Catalytic Variable

Abstract. We study systems of n ≥ 1 discrete differential equations of order k ≥ 1 in one catalytic variable and provide a constructive and elementary proof of algebraicity of their solutions. This yields effective bounds and a systematic method for computing the minimal polynomials. Our approach is a generalization of the pioneering work by Bousquet-Mélou and Jehanne (2006).
