Abstract
This article is primarily concerned with questions of tameness and triangulability for certain polynomial automorphisms, and is divided into two parts. Part 1 examines one-parameter subgroups of the group of affine automorphisms; Part 2 discusses how triangular automorphisms may be resolved when viewed as Cremona transformations.
