A Puiseux series is a power series in rational powers of the variables. More precisely:

Let $X≔\left(x_1\,\dots \,x_p\right)$ and $U≔\left(u_1\,\dots \,u_m\right)$ be ordered lists of variables.

Let $R≔\left(r_1\,\dots \,r_m\right)$ be a list of $m$ grevlex-positive $p$-dimensional rational vectors.

Let $e≔\left(e_1\,\dots \,e_p\right)$ be a point in ${\mathrm{\mathbb{Q}}}^p$.

Let $g\left(U\right)≔{\sum }_{n\=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}{g}_n\left(U\right)$ be a multivariate power series in $U$ with homogeneous components $g_n\left(U\right)$.

For any $v\=\left(v_1\,\dots \,v_q\right)$ in ${\mathrm{\mathbb{Q}}}^q$ and any list $Y\=\left(y_1\,\dots \,y_q\right)$, we write $Y^v$ for $y_1^{v_1}\dots y_q^{v_q}$. Moreover, we write $X^R$ for the list $\left(X^{r_1}\,\dots \,X^{r_m}\right)$ of $m$ products of powers of the variables in $X$. Then $P≔X^{e}g\left(X^R\right)$ is a Puiseux series, and every Puiseux series can be written in this way. This can be understood as evaluating $g\left(U\right)$ at $u_i=X^{r_i}$ and then multiplying the result by $X^e$.

We call $g$ the internal power series of the Puiseux series $P$; $X$ the variable order of $P$; $U$ the variable order of $g$; and $R$ the rays of $P$. The rays generate the cone containing the support of $P$, meaning the set of exponent vectors of $X$ that occur in $P$ with a nonzero coefficient, as in the paper by Monforte and Kauers (see References). The vertex of this cone is $e$.

By using the command ChangeOfVariables(s), we obtain the change of variables $u_i=X^{r_i}$ for $i\=1\,\dots \,m$, applied to the internal power series g(U) of s. See PuiseuxSeries for details on the role of this change of variables.

When using the MultivariatePowerSeries package, do not assign anything to the variables occurring in the power series, Puiseux series, and univariate polynomials over these series. If you do, you may see invalid results.
