ABSTRACT. It is shown that as a family of projective smooth curves degenerates to an irreducible Gorenstein curve the Weierstrass weight at a point P on the limit curve is the sum of the Weierstrass weights at points on the smooth curves converging to P.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
