Let v be a henselian valuation of a field K . In this paper it is proved that any finite extension ( K ′, v ′) of ( K , v ) is tame if and only if there exists α ≠ 0 in K ′ such that v ′(α) = v (Tr K ′/ K (α)) using elementary results of valuation theory. A special case of this result, when the characteristic of the residue field of v is p > 0 and ( K ′, v ′)/( K , v ) is an extension of degree p , was proved in 1990 by J. P. Tignol ( J. Reine Angew. Math . 404 (1990) 1–38). 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 12J10, 12J25, 13A18.
