Let Λ be an artin algebra, and V a subset of all simple modules in mod Λ. Suppose that Λ/ rad Λ has finite syzygy type, then the derived dimension of Λ is at most ℓℓ t V (ΛΛ) + pd V. In particular, if the global dimension of Λ is finite, then the derived dimension of Λ is at most ℓℓ t V (ΛΛ) + pd V. This generalized the famous result which state that the derived dimension of Λ is less than or equal to the global dimension of Λ.
