Abstract:
Let be any smooth real-valued function with . For a sufficiently small neighborhood of the origin, we study the number
It is known that sometimes this number can be expressed in a natural way using the Newton polygon of . We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for this Newton polygon characterization to hold. The behavior of the integral at the supremal is also analyzed.
