On n-irreducible ideals of commutative rings
Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] a positive integer. The main purpose of this paper is to study the concepts of [Formula: see text]-irreducible and strongly [Formula: see text]-irreducible ideals which are generalizations of irreducible and strongly irreducible ideals, respectively. A proper ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-irreducible (respectively, strongly [Formula: see text]-irreducible) if for each ideals [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text]) implies that there are [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]’s whose intersection is [Formula: see text] (respectively, whose intersection is in [Formula: see text]).
