Abstract
In this paper we give a new proof of the existence of Puiseux series e xpansion of the limit discount equation of finite state: stochastic ga mes. Unlike the original proof, due to Bewley and Kohlberg [Math. Oper . Res., 3 (1976), pp. 197-208], our proof is not algebraic and does no t invoke Tarski's principle. Instead we use only the theory of functio ns of complex variables and complex analytic varieties.
