We call a module M , quasi-catenary if for each pair of quasi-prime submodules K and L of M with K L all saturated chains of quasi-prime submodules of M from K to L have a common finite length. We show that any homomorphic image of a quasi-catenary module is quasi-catenary. We prove that if M   is a module with following properties: (i) Every quasi-prime submodule of M has finite quasi-height;...

let r be a commutative ring with identity and m be a unitary r-module. let : s(m) −! s(m) [ {;} be a function, where s(m) is the set of submodules ofm. suppose n  2 is a positive integer. a proper submodule p of m is called(n − 1, n) − -prime, if whenever a1, . . . , an−1 2 r and x 2 m and a1 . . . an−1x 2p(p), then there exists i 2 {1, . . . , n − 1} such that a1 . . . ai−1ai+1 . . . an−1x...

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M be a unitary R-module. Let : S(M) −! S(M) [ {;} be a function, where S(M) is the set of submodules ofM. Suppose n 2 is a positive integer. A proper submodule P of M is called(n − 1, n) − -prime, if whenever a1, . . . , an−1 2 R and x 2 M and a1 . . . an−1x 2P(P), then there exists i 2 {1, . . . , n − 1} such that a1 . . . ai−1ai+1 . . . an−1x 2 P...

In this paper we introduce the notion of classical quasi-primary submodules that generalizes the concept of classical primary submodules. Then, we investigate decomposition and minimal decomposition into classical quasi-primary submodules. In particular, existence and uniqueness of classical quasi-primary decompositions in finitely generated modules over Noetherian rings are proved. More...

In this paper, we study some properties of φ-prime submodules andwe give another charactrization for it. For given N and K a moduleM with ⊆ N, prove that is submodule if only N/Kis φ_K-prime submodule. Finally, show any finite sum isφ-prime.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module. A proper submodule $P$ of $M$ is called strongly prime submodule if $(P + Rx : M)ysubseteq P$ for $x, yin M$, implies that $xin P$ or $yin P$. In this paper, we study more properties of strongly prime submodules. It is shown that a finitely generated $R$-module $M$ is Artinian if and only if $M$ is Noetherian and every st...

 Prime submodules and artinian prime modules are characterized. Furthermore, some previous results on prime modules and second modules are generalized.
