A power series r with noncommuting variables is called Parikh simple if no two words in the support of r are commutatively equivalent. We show that equality is decidable for Parikh simple algebraic power series having their coefficients in a computable field. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
