Abstract

\DeclareMathOperator\IntRIntR\DeclareMathOperator{\IntR}{Int{}^\text{R}}Integer-valued rational functions are a natural generalization of integer-valued polynomials. Given a domain DD, the collection of all integer-valued rational functions over DD forms a ring extension \IntR(D)\IntR(D) of DD. For a valuation domain VV, we characterize when \IntR(V)\IntR(V) is a Pr\"ufer domain and when \IntR(V)\IntR(V) is a B\'ezout domain. We also extend the classification of when \IntR(D)\IntR(D) is a Pr\"ufer domain.
