Abstract: The notion of defect for finite algebraic extensions of valued fields is classical and due to Ostrowski. Recently Matignon has generalized Ostrowski's definition to rk 1 (residually transcendental) valued function fields and used it to prove a very sharp version of the genus reduction inequality for $1 - \dim$ function fields. The further generalization of the notion of defect to valued function fields of arbitrary rk is treated here.
