Ramification and Puiseux series in Several Variables
In Algebraically Closed Fields Analogous to Fields of Puiseux Series,
Rayner makes the following observation: given the equation $Z^2 = (X+Y)Y$, we can solve this equation for $Z$ using a ...

How to treat Puiseux series as functions?
I have been reading about Puiseux series in the context of the Newton–Puiseux algorithm for resolution of singularities of algebraic curves in $\mathbb{C}^2$. Given a curve $f(x,y)=0$ with $f$ a ...

Puiseux's theorem's converse
Puiseux's theorem asserts that
given a polynomial equation $P(x,y)=0$, its solutions in $y$, viewed as functions of $x$, may be expanded as Puiseux series that are convergent in some neighbourhood of ...

Singular points of algebraic varieties and parametrization by Puiseux series
Let $V\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ (or $\mathbb{C}^n$ if that makes anything easier) be an algebraic variety and $p\in V$ a possibly singular point. Let $U\subset V$ be a sufficiently small neighborhood of $...

Determine asymptotic behavior of algebraic curves
Take an example polynomial $f(x, y) = y^2 x + y^3 - x^2$. A solution to $f(x,y)=0$ exists with Puiseux series given by $y(x) = x^{2/3} - x/3 + x^{4/3}/9+\cdots$. I got this by having Mathematica ...

Asymptotics vs Puiseux series
Define asymptotic as a class of sequences {$ x_i$},$_{i\in\mathbb N}$ modulo equivalence {$x_i$}={$y_i$} if $\lim_{i\to\infty} (x_i/y_i)=c\in\mathbb R,c\ne 0$.
More, we define $X= \{x_i\} \lt Y= \{ ...
