Abstract
Let be a valuation ring of a global field . We show that for all positive integers and there exists an integer-valued polynomial on , that is, an element of , which has precisely essentially different factorizations into irreducible elements of whose lengths are exactly . In fact, we show more, namely that the same result holds true for every discrete valuation domain with finite residue field such that the quotient field of admits a valuation ring independent of whose maximal ideal is principal or whose residue field is finite. If the quotient field of is a purely transcendental extension of an arbitrary field, this property is satisfied. This solves an open problem proposed by Cahen, Fontana, Frisch and Glaz in these cases.
