Bruce, J. W. Vector fields on discriminants and bifurcation varieties. (English) Zbl 0584.32015 Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 17, 257-262 (1985). Let f: (\({\mathbb{C}}^ n,0)\to ({\mathbb{C}},0)\) be a holomorphic map germ and B the associated full bifurcation variety. One knows that B is a hypersurface germ, and a result of H. Terao in Math. Ann. 263, 313- 321 (1983; Zbl 0497.32016) states that the module of logarithmic vector fields tangent to B is free over the ring of holomorphic functions on B. The aim of the paper is to give an algorithm to obtain explicit generators of this module and to point out consequences of this algorithm.
