Let R be an integral domain. An element u of the quotient field of R is said to be pseudo-integral over R if uIv ⊆ Iv for some nonzero finitely generated ideal I of R. The set of all pseudo-integral elements forms an integrally closed (but not necessarily pseudo-integrally closed) overling R ofR. It is shown that , where X is a family of indeterminates; pseudo-integrality is analyzed in rings of the form D + M; and an example is given to show that pseudo-integrality does not behave well with respect to
localization.
