    Is \(D\) is an integral domain with quotient field \(K\) and \(S\subset D\), then denote by \(\mathrm{Int}(S,D)\) the set of polynomials \(f\in K[X]\) satisfying \(f(S)\subset D\). If \(\mathrm{Int}(S,D)\) is a Prüfer domain, then \(D\) is also Prüfer, and the converse holds in case of finite \(S\), as shown in [Proc. R. Ir. Acad., Sect. A 85, 177--184 (1985; Zbl 0596.13017)] by \textit{D. L. McQuillan}. In case when \(D\) a valuation domain and \(S\) is precompact, i.e., it has a compact completion, then it has been established by \textit{P.-J. Cahen} et al. [J. Korean Math. Soc. 38, No. 5, 915--935 (2001; Zbl 1010.13011)] that \(\mathrm{Int}(S,D)\) is Prüfer, and the precompact condition is also necessary if the valuation is discrete. The authors study the case when \(D\) is the valuation domain of a field with a rank one valuation and \(S =\{a_n\}\subset D\) is a pseudo-convergent sequence, i.e. for \(i>j>k\) one has \(v(a_i-a_j)>v(a_j-a_k)\), as defined by \textit{A. Ostrowski} [Math. Z. 39, 269--320, 321--361, 361--404 (1934; JFM 60.0899.01)]. In Theorem 5.2 they give a necessary and sufficient condition for \(\mathrm{Int}(S,D)\) to be Prüfer, from which it follows that the precompact condition is not necessary.
