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 />
