This leads to the 'correct' formulation of non-degeneracy of a polynomial with respect to its Milnor number. As another application we compute the number of isolated solutions (counted with multiplicity) in K^n of n generic polynomials with fixed Newton polytopes, with an explicit characterization of non-degeneracy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-17T12:33:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14C17", "14B05", "32S05" ], "keywords": [ "milnor number", "intersection multiplicity", "bernsteins theorem", "generic polynomials", "bernstein-kushnirenko type characterization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
