For an o-minimal expansion R of a real closed field and a set V of Th(R)-convex valuation rings, we construct a “pseudo completion” with respect to V . This is an elementary extension S of R generated by all completions of all the residue fields of the V ∈ V , when these completions are embedded into a big elementary extension of R. It is shown that S does not depend on the various embeddings u...

For an o-minimal expansion R of a real closed eld and a set V of Th(R)-convex valuation rings, we construct a \pseudo completion" with respect to V. This is an elementary extension S of R generated by all completions of all the residue elds of the V 2 V , when these completions are embedded into a big elementary extension of R. It is shown that S does not depend on the various embeddings up to ...

In this paper, on a non-standard extension (∗X ,∗d) of a metric space (X ,d), we construct a chain of new non-standard topologies in terms of convex subrings of ∗R, its minimal element is the Stopology and its maximal is the Q-topology. Next, we construct X̂ , the F -asymptotic hull of X , and we prove that such space is metrizable and complete when F is generated by an asymptotic scale. Finally...

BACKGROUND Decision-making can be based on treatment preferences of the patient, the doctor, or by guidelines based on lay people's preferences. We compared valuations assigned by three groups: patients, obstetrical care professionals, and laypersons, for health states involving both mother and (unborn) child. Our aim was to compare the valuations of different groups using different valuation m...

Let $V$ be a valuation domain with quotient field $K$. We show how to describe all extensions of $K(X)$ when the $V$-adic completion $\widehat{K}$ is algebraically closed, generalizing similar result obtained by Ostrowski in case one-dimensional domains. This accomplished realizing such means pseudo-monotone sequences, generalization pseudo-convergent sequences introduced Chabert. also that rin...

We recall that a ring R is called near pseudo-valuation ring if every minimal prime ideal is a strongly prime ideal. Let R be a commutative ring, σ an automorphism of R and δ a σderivation of R. We recall that a prime ideal P of R is δ-divided if it is comparable (under inclusion) to every σ-invariant and δ-invariant ideal I (i.e. σ(I) ⊆ I and δ(I) ⊆ I) of R. A ring R is called a δ-divided ring...

We consider Donovan's conjecture in the context of blocks groups G with defect group D and normal subgroups N◁G such that G=CD(D∩N)N, extending similar results for abelian groups. As an application we show holds form Q8×C2n or Q8×Q8 defined over a discrete valuation ring.
