{wiki=V-ring_(ring_theory)}
In ring theory, which is a branch of abstract algebra, a **V-ring** (or **valuation ring**) is a specific type of integral domain that has certain properties related to valuations. A valuation is a function that assigns values to elements in a field which helps in determining the "size" or "order" of those elements.
