Abstract: Using the techniques of automata theory, we give another proof of
the function field analogue of Mahler­Manin conjecture and prove transcendence
results for the power series associated to higher divisor functions oe k (n) =

Let p be a prime number, and k be an algebraic closure of F p . Let q be a variable
and consider a 4 ; a 6 2 k[[q]] defined by
