Pseudo-convergent sequences and Prüfer domains of integer-valued polynomials

Abstract

Let $K$ be a field with rank one valuation and $V$ the valuation domain of $K$. For a subset $E$ of $V$, the ring of integer-valued polynomials on $E$ is \[ \Int (E, V) = \{f \in K[x] \mid f(E) \subseteq V \}. \] A question of interest regarding $\Int (E, V)$ is: for which $E$ is $\Int (E, V)$ a Pr\"{u}fer domain? In this paper, we contribute a partial answer to this question. We classify exactly when $\Int (E, V)$ is Pr\"{u}fer in the case where the elements of $E$ comprise a pseudo-convergent sequence in $V$. Our work expands on earlier results that apply when $V$ is a discrete valuation domain.
