In this work we prove some inequalities for smooth algebraic functions
(smooth solutions to polynomial equations) which are crucial for proving some scaling
properties of their averages and maxima, that are typical in the case of polynomials. As
a byproduct, it is shown that x !−→ (y −f(x))2, where f is a smooth algebraic function,
behaves like a polynomial (in terms of scaling properties of averages and maxima)
