Yes you are right about the indefinite hessian. Whether (x-y)^2(x+y)^2 should be considered a crunode is an interesting question. If you take a classification of singularities, you find that x^2-y^2 and (x-y)^2(x+y)^2 have different types, the most important type being the simpler case. I'm not at

I've never heard the term crunode in my life. Is there a relation to node? The picture depicts what most people would call a node, not a crunode. The stuff about the
Hessian contradicts the picture. This article is in serious

Taking the simplest case I think the defining characteristic is that the determinant of the hessian is negative, that is the quadratic form is hyperbolic. Acnodes have elliptics quadratic forms and cusps have parabolic forms.

Yes the info about the
Hessian was wrong, somehow it didn't get corrected last time it was pointed out. I think the term is a little dated, but it is well sourced in certain parts of the literature.--
