Morse numbers of complex polynomials

To a polynomial function $f$ with arbitrary singularities we associate the number of Morse points in a general linear Morsification $f_{t} := f - t\ell$. We produce computable algebraic formulas in terms of invariants of $f$ for the numbers of stratwise Morse trajectories which abut, as $t\to 0$, to some point of $X$ or to some point at infinity.Comment: 16
