Let (A,\mathfrakmA,k) be a local noetherian ring and I an \mathfrakmA-primary ideal. The asymptotic Samuel function (with respect to I) vI : A\longrightarrow ℝ∪ +∞ is defined by vI(x)=limk → \+infty(ordI(xk)/(k), ∀ x ∈ A. Similary, one defines for another ideal J, vI(J) as the minimum of vI(x) as x varies in J. Of special interest is the rational number vI(\mathfrakmA). We study the behavior of the Asymptotic Samuel Function (with respect to I) when passing to hyperplanes sections of A as one does for the theory of mixed multiplicities.
