Abstract

In section 2.4, the group H of the random walk was shown to be of even order 2n, n=2,..., ∞. Throughout this chapter, n is supposed to be finite and the functions q,q,q 0 are polynomials. In this case, we are able to characterize completely the solutions of the basic functional equation, and also to give necessary and sufficient conditions for these solutions to be rational or algebraic.
