Abstract

Given a prime pp, and vp(a)v_p(a) stand for the pp-adic valuation of the element aa in a finite extension KK of Qp\mathbf{Q}_p, or more generally the field Cp\mathbf{C}_p which is the complete field of the algebraic closure Qp\mathbf{Q}_p with respect to the pp-adic absolute value, denoted by p\lvert \cdot \rvert_p. Let FF and GG be two (pp-adic) power series with no common roots. We aim to estimate the maximal value SS and the minimal value ss of the function ϕ(x)=min(vp(F(x)),vp(G(x)))\phi(x)=\min(v_p(F(x)), v_p(G(x))) over various domains, namely open and closed unit discs of KK or Cp\mathbf{C}_p. To do this, we use partial resultants of two power series over certain domains defined by varied versions of the Weierstrass preparation theorem. Furthermore, the resultant of power series provides an efficient tool while studying the irreducibility and calculating the maximal value of ϕ\phi.
