A compactification and the Euler characteristic of the spaces of real meromorphic functions

Abstract

For any connected component $H_0$ of the space of real meromorphic functions we build a compactification $N(H_0)$ of the space $H_0$. Then we express the Euler characteristics of the spaces $H_0$ and $N(H_0)$ in terms of topological invariants of functions from $H_0$.
