We show a lower estimate of the Milnor number of an isolated hypersurface singularity, via its Newton number. We also obtain analogous estimate of the Milnor number of an isolated singularity of a similar complete intersection variety. Introduction We study the Newton number of a polyhedron in order to calculate the Milnor number of an isolated singularity defined by an analytic mapping. Sectio...
