The asymptotic values of a polynomial function on the real plane Original Research Article

Let a polynomial function f of two real variables be given. We prove the existence of a finite number of unbounded regions of the real plane along which the tangent planes to the graph of f tend to horizontal position, when moving away from the origin. The real limit values of this function on these regions are called asymptotic values. We also define the real critical values at infinity f and prove the theorem of local trivial fibration at infinity, away from these values.
