Intersection numbers, Segre numbers and generalized Samuel multiplicities (Q5953407)

The authors prove that the analytic intersection numbers (extended index of intersection) of \textit{P. Tworzewski} [see Ann. Pol. Math. 62, 177-191 (1995; Zbl 0911.32018)] and the Segre numbers of \textit{T. Gaffney} and \textit{R. Gassler} [J. Algebr. Geom. 8, 695-736 (1999; Zbl 0971.13021)], are generalized Samuel multiplicities, which have been introduced for an arbitrary ideal in an arbitrary local ring by \textit{R. Achilles} and \textit{M. Manaresi} [Math. Ann. 309, 573-591(1997; Zbl 0894.14005)].
