Abstract
Let R be a commutative ring with unity. The notion of almost -integrally closed ring is introduced which generalizes the concept of almost integrally closed domain. Let
be the set of all rings such that
is a divided prime ideal of R and
is a ring homomorphism defined as
for all
. A ring
is said to be an almost
-integrally closed ring if
is integrally closed in
for each nonnil prime ideal
of R. Using the idealization theory of Nagata, examples are also given to strengthen the concept.
