Abstract

The paper deals with the notion of analytic complexity introduced by V.K. Beloshapka. We give an algorithm which allows one to check whether a bivariate analytic function belongs to the second class of analytic complexity. We also provide estimates for the analytic complexity of classical discriminants and introduce the notion of analytic complexity of a knot.
