Local maxima of a random algebraic polynomial

We present a useful formula for the expected number of maxima of a normal process ξ(t) that occur below a level u. In the derivation we assume chiefly that ξ(t),ξ′(t), and ξ′′(t) have, with probability one, continuous 1 dimensional distributions and expected values of zero. The formula referred to a...
