Right bounded HNP r<strong>in</strong>gs are HNP r<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> which<br />

every essential right ideal conta<strong>in</strong>s a two sided ideal.<br />

Le na qa n [9] has shown tha t right bounded HNP r<strong>in</strong>gs are<br />

r<strong>in</strong>gs with er.ouqh <strong>in</strong>vertible ideals, ioe, <strong>in</strong> such r<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

every nonzero prime ideal conta<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong>vertible ideals o<br />

Thus~ a second way to look at prime GUFRs is through<br />

their connection with prime Noetherian r<strong>in</strong>gs with enough<br />

<strong>in</strong>vertible ideals. It can be seen that if a prime Noetherian<br />

r<strong>in</strong>g R with enough <strong>in</strong>vertible ideals is such that all its<br />

<strong>in</strong>vertible ideals are pr<strong>in</strong>cipal, then R is a prime GUFR.<br />

In particular, right bounded HNP r<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> which each<br />

<strong>in</strong>vertible ideal is pr<strong>in</strong>cipal, are also prime GUFRs.<br />

After prov<strong>in</strong>g all the above mentioned results <strong>in</strong><br />

Chapter 2, we move over to Chapter 3 <strong>in</strong> ~hich we study<br />
