The cyclicity problem for the images of Q-rational series
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 45 (2011) no. 4, pp. 375-381.

We show that it is decidable whether or not a given Q-rational series in several noncommutative variables has a cyclic image. By definition, a series r has a cyclic image if there is a rational number q such that all nonzero coefficients of r are integer powers of q.
