Abstract
One of the main obstacles for the understanding of valence-fluctuation materials has been the absence of a clear model to illustrate the essential nature of the valence-fluctuation ground state. Our goal here is to present such a model, or rather, two closely related models, and to demonstrate that they have a number of intuitively reasonable features.
