    Let \(f:\mathbb{R}^{2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a polynomial function in two real variables. The authors study the Łojasiewicz inequality at infinity for \(f\) i.e. the inequality \[ \| f(x)\| \geq C\text{dist} (x,V_{f})^{\alpha } \] for \(x\gg 0,\) where \(V_{f}\) is the zero set of \(f\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\) (if \( V_{f}=\emptyset \) then \(\text{dist}(x,V_{f})=\| x\|\)). They also consider other variants of the Łojasiewicz inequality at infinity (in a \(\varepsilon \)-neighbourhood of the zero set and outside \(\varepsilon \)-neighbourhood of the zero set). The main results are: 1. conditions for the existence (i.e. the existence of \(\alpha )\) of the Łojasiewicz inequality at infinity, 2. formulae for the Łojasiewicz exponents at infinity (i.e. the smallest \( \alpha \) in the above inequality) in terms of real approximations of complex branches of \(\{f=0\}\) in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\).
