Abstract

We prove that asymptotic Hölder absolute values are Hölder equivalent to classical absolute values. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of Ostrowski's theorem and a classical theorem by E. Artin. The theorem presented implies a new, more flexible, definition of classical absolute value.
