Abstract

Let f:ℝ² → ℝ be a polynomial mapping with a finite number of critical points. We express the degree at infinity of the gradient ∇f in terms of the real branches at infinity of the level curves {f(x,y) = λ} for some λ ∈ ℝ. The formula obtained is a counterpart at infinity of the local formula due to Arnold.
