Let be complete, let be separable over , and let be algebraic over . If is closer to than any other -conjugate of , then
The roots of a separable polynomial over a complete non-Archimedean field vary continuously with its coefficients after the roots are suitably matched. In particular, a sufficiently close coefficientwise approximation has one root in each sufficiently small disjoint ball around an original root.
Every finite extension of is isomorphic to the completion of some number field at a prime above . Approximate a primitive element's minimal polynomial by a polynomial over and use Krasner's lemma to preserve the generated local field.

Krasner's lemma is a result in the field of number theory, specifically dealing with linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers. It provides conditions under which a certain linear combination of logarithms can lead to a rational approximation or a specific form of representation. The lemma is often used in Diophantine approximation and transcendency theory.
