“…Again, we may assume that $I$ is an ideal of definition and that $A/M$ are infinite fields for all maximal ideals $M$ of $A$ . Let $x_{1},$ $x_{2},$ $\cdots,$ $x_{d}$ be a system of superficial parameters of $I$ , then $e_{0}(I)=$ $\swarrow(A/(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{d}))$ by (3) of Lemma 4 and by the fact that $x_{d}mod$ . $(x_{1}, \cdots, x_{d-1})$ is a transversal element of $I/(x_{1}, \cdots, x_{d-1})$ .…”
