Theorem 3.2. If $K$ is algebraically closed and has characteristic $0$, then the algebraic closure of the field of (restricted) Laurent series $K((x))$ over $K$ is the field of Puiseux series over $K$.
Here “restricted” refers to Remark 2.4. See Puiseux series for more details on this result.
I'm trying to find the expansion for the roots of this equation. I've found one root as $x\sim 1+\epsilon $. Now considering the dominant balance I want to rescale so that
$\epsilon x^3\sim O(x) \Rightarrow x=O(1/\sqrt\epsilon )$
Setting $x=y(1/\sqrt\epsilon )$ where $y=O(1)$ I get the new equation
$$y^3-y+\sqrt\epsilon=0$$
Puiseux series
It is the algebraic closure of the field of formal Laurent series, which itself is the field of fractions of the ring of formal power series.
