A polynomial with 2k critical values at infinity

Janusz Gwoździewicz, Maciej Sękalski (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We construct a polynomial f:ℂ² → ℂ of degree 4k+2 with no critical points in ℂ² and with 2k critical values at infinity.

Density of Critical Factorizations

Tero Harju, Dirk Nowotka (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We investigate the density of critical factorizations of infinite sequences of words. The density of critical factorizations of a word is the ratio between the number of positions that permit a critical factorization, and the number of all positions of a word. We give a short proof of the Critical Factorization Theorem and show that the maximal number of noncritical positions of a word between two critical ones is less than the period of that word. Therefore, we consider only...
