Abstract

We give an expression for the Łojasiewicz exponent of a wide class of n-tuples of ideals (I 1,…,I n ) in \(\mathcal {O}_{n}\) using the information given by a fixed Newton filtration. In order to obtain this expression we consider a reformulation of Łojasiewicz exponents in terms of Rees mixed multiplicities. As a consequence, we obtain a wide class of semi-weighted homogeneous functions f:(ℂn,0)→(ℂ,0) for which the Łojasiewicz of its gradient map ∇f attains the maximum possible value.
