Let [Formula: see text] be a regular ideal in noetherian ring [Formula: see text]. Mc Adam and Ratliff showed the existence of the unique minimal reduction number of [Formula: see text], noted [Formula: see text], such that for every minimal reduction [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. They showed that the set of integers [Formula: see text] is bounded in terms of the analytic spread of [Formula: see text]. Here, we extend these results to good filtrations. Let [Formula: see text] be a good filtration on [Formula: see text], we show that the set of integers [Formula: see text] is bounded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
