Extract

Let K be a field. We denote by K[t] the integral domain of all polynomials in an indeterminate t with coefficients in K, and by K(t) the quotient field of K[t], i.e. the field of all formal rational functions of t over K. A valuation |f| of the elements f of K(t) can be defined by

for f ≠ 0, and |0| = 0, where e > 1. This valuation is multiplicative, and has the properties
