Abstract
We consider a continuous family , of complex polynomials in two variables with isolated singularities, that are Newton non-degenerate. We suppose that the Euler characteristic of a generic fiber is constant (or equivalently the sum of the affine Milnor number and the Milnor number at infinity is constant). We firstly prove that the set of critical values at infinity depends continuously on , and secondly that the degree of the is constant (up to an algebraic automorphism of ).
