โฆ Synopsis
Let q 2 be an integer and let w be a block of 0, ..., q&1 of finite length. For a nonnegative integer n, let e(w; n) denote the number of occurrences of w in the q-adic expansion of n. Define f (w; z)= n 0 e(w; n) z n . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the algebraic independence of functions f (w 1 ; z), ..., f (w m ; z) and their values for given blocks w 1 , ..., w m .

We coin the notation maximal integral form of an algebraic group generalizing Gross' notion of a model. We extend the mass formula given by Gross to our context. For the finite Lie primitive subgroups of G 2 there are unique maximal integral forms defined by them.
Some time ago Mills and Robbins (1986, J. Number Theory 23, No. 3, 388-404) conjectured a simple closed form for the continued fraction expansion of the power series solution \(f=a_{1} x^{-1}+a_{2} x^{-2}+\cdots\) to the equation \(f^{4}+f^{2}-x f+1=0\) when the base field is GF(3). In this paper we
