Let K be a field of characteristic p>0 and let f(t1,…,td) be a power series in d variables with coefficients in K that is algebraic over the field of multivariate rational functions K(t1,…,td). We prove a generalization of both Derksen’s recent analogue of the Skolem–Mahler–Lech theorem in positive characteristic and a classical theorem of Christol, by showing that the set of indices (n1,…,nd)∈ℕd for which the coefficient of $t_{1}^{n_{1}}cdots t_{d}^{n_{d}}$ in f(t1,…,td) is zero is a p-automatic set. Applying this result to multivariate rational functions leads to interesting effective results concerning some Diophantine equations related to S-unit equations and more generally to the Mordell–Lang Theorem over fields of positive characteristic.
