Abstract
In [Citation8] L. Salce introduced the notion of a cotorsion pair (ℱ, 𝒞) in the category of abelian groups. But his definitions and basic results carry over to more general abelian categories and have proven to be useful in a variety of settings. A significant result of cotorsion theory proven by Eklof and Trlifaj is that if a pair (ℱ, 𝒞) of classes of R-modules is cogenerated by a set, then it is complete [Citation1]. Recently Fu, Herzog, Guil, and Torrecillas developed the ideal approximation theory [Citation6], [Citation4]. In this article we look at a result motivated by the Eklof and Trlifaj argument for an ideal ℐ when it is generated by a set of homomorphisms.
