About the computation of the signature of surface singularities \(z ^{N } + g(x, y) = 0\) (Q432228)

Given a surface by an implicit equation \(z^N+g(x,y)=0\) such that the origin is an isolated singularity, the paper reports on an implementation in the \texttt{Singular} system to find the signature of this singularity. Three different methods are implemented: Puiseux expansions, resolution of singularities and spectral pairs. The experimental results reveal that the third method is much slower, while the first two ones provide similar timings.
