On the Łojasiewicz exponent and Newton polyhedron (Q2386861)

Let \(f:(\mathbb{C}^{n},0)\rightarrow (\mathbb{C},0)\mathbb{\;}\)be a germ of a holomorphic function having an isolated critical point at the origin. The Łojasiewicz exponent of \(f\) at \(0\) is \[ L(f)=\inf \{\lambda >0:| \text{grad} f (x)| \geq C\left| x\right| ^{\lambda }\text{ near zero}\}. \] It is an important invariant of the singularity \(f=0.\) It is always a rational number. It has been studied by many authors: Lejeune-Jalabert, Teissier, Lichtin, Fukui, Chądzyński, Krasiński, Lenarcik, Płoski and many others. The author gives some estimations of \(L(f)\) under Kouchnirenko's nondegeneracy condition on \(f\). The estimations (from below and above) of \(L(f)\) are integers calculated from the Newton polyhedrons and Newton numbers of \(f.\)
