Nov 2, 2023 at 12:26 comment added António Borges Santos @CarloBeenakker I just opened a bounty, since I think I still don't quite know why this expression is an integer.

Oct 31, 2023 at 20:37 comment added António Borges Santos @M.G. that's interesting, do you think you can make the connection explicit?
Oct 31, 2023 at 20:11 comment added M.G. @AntónioBorgesSantos: have you looked into topological degree of differentiable maps?
Oct 31, 2023 at 19:59 comment added António Borges Santos thank you very much, that makes sense...
Oct 31, 2023 at 19:56 comment added Carlo Beenakker I should not have used the word multiplicity, it refers to real functions; in the complex plane winding number is the correct word; a function $f(z)=z^p$ has winding number $p$ in the complex plane, and multiplicity $p$ of its root on the real axis, but for your function $x+iy^2$ only winding number makes sense (you could argue it has multiplicity 1 along the real axis and 2 along the imaginary axis, so that is not a unique definition)
Oct 31, 2023 at 19:48 comment added António Borges Santos @CarloBeenakker thank you for your answer, but then the integral is not $2\pi$ times the multiplicity of the root?
Oct 31, 2023 at 19:45 comment added Carlo Beenakker these two function give different values, one has winding number 1, the other winding number 0; I have worked this out in the answer box.

Oct 31, 2023 at 16:17 comment added António Borges Santos @CarloBeenakker I see, but then $f(x,y)=x+iy$ and $f(x,y)=x+iy^2$ give the same value? I am still not quite sure I see what computation implies this invariance...
Oct 31, 2023 at 16:10 comment added Carlo Beenakker You need isolated roots, differentiable is not enough. For example, this example you mentioned earlier of $f(x)=x_1$ fails, it vanishes on the entire imaginary axis.

Oct 31, 2023 at 15:48 comment added António Borges Santos @CarloBeenakker but here we are not considering holomorphic functions but just real differentiable functions?
Oct 31, 2023 at 15:11 comment added Carlo Beenakker see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_principle
Oct 31, 2023 at 13:32 comment added António Borges Santos @CarloBeenakker does this winding number have a name or do you have a reference where these properties are discussed?

Oct 31, 2023 at 10:04 comment added Carlo Beenakker it's independent of $\epsilon$, the integral is $2\pi$ times the multiplicity of the root.
