We assume F is a purely inseparable field extension of the field K. The characteristic of K is p ≠ 0, and we assume F and K are not perfect. For x ∈ F, the exponent of x over K is the smallest

non-negative integer e such that and will be denoted by

e (x); ⨱ will denote . For any subset S of F, e(x; S) will denote the exponent of x over K(S); in case S = {y} we will write e(x; y) for e(x; S).
