Let R be an integral domain with quotient field K. A fractional ideal I of R is a ∨-ideal if I is the intersection of all the principal fractional ideals of R which contain I. If I is an integral ∨-ideal, at first one is tempted to think that I is actually just the intersection of the principal integral ideals which contain I.However, this is not true. For example, if R is a Dedekind domain, then all integral ideals are ∨-ideals. Thus a maximal ideal of R is an intersection of principal integral ideals if and only if it is actually principal. Hence, if R is a Dedekind domain, each integral ∨-ideal is an intersection of principal integral ideals precisely when R is a PID.
