A valuation of a ring K is a function

where A is an archimedean ordered field and W has the properties of the absolute valuation; see (2, chap. X). The theory was extended in 1936 by K. Mahler (1), who introduced the concept of pseudovaluations. Whereas for a valuation we must always have

for a pseudovaluation it is sufficient that
