Puiseux series


A formal series of the form

n=manzn/k

where m and k are integers such that k1 is is called a Puiseux seriesMathworldPlanetmath or a fractional power series. Note that if k>1, then zn/k could be multivalued. One example of the use of such a power seriesMathworldPlanetmath is the Puiseux parametrization of one-dimensional complex analytic varieties.
