ag.algebraic geometry - Puiseux series for roots of polynomials with smooth coefficients

If



p(x,y)=xN+aN1(y)xN1+ldots+a0(y),quadx,yinmathbfC



is a monic polynomial in x, and the coefficients aj are analytic functions of y, then the roots of p have expansions in Puiseux series (in powers of y1/m for some m) which are convergent for y sufficiently close to 0.



Is this true in an asymptotic sense when the aj are only assumed to be smooth? i.e. Do the roots have asymptotic expansions which are formal Puiseux series (not necessarily convergent)?



For A to have an asymptotic expansion AsimB1+B2+ldots with respect to some grading mathcalO(n) means that BninmathcalO(n), and for each N, AsumNn=1BninO(N+1). Here mathcalO(n) means mathcalO(|y|n/m) in the usual big-O notation, as yto0.
