Singular points of real sextic curves. I (Q970484)

A complete classification of singular points for irreducible real sextic curves \(f(x,y)=0\) is given. The classification is based on expansions of the Puiseux solutions \(y=\phi (x)\) of the equation \(f(x,y)=0\). The authors use extensively the computer algebra system Maple. They list \(191\) types of such singularities. They are described explicitly together with their Newton diagrams and tree diagrams.
