Abstract
The aim of this study is the description of all the local additive invariants of the plane wave fronts. A generic wave front is a curve whose only singularities are the transversal self-intersections on the semicubical cusps (see fig. 1a, b). The invariants that we shall find are “dual” to different strata of the discriminant formed by the nongeneric wave fronts.
