Ratliff and Rush show in particular that Ĩ is the largest ideal for which, for sufficiently large positive integers n, (Ĩ) = I and hence that ̃̃ I = Ĩ. We call regular ideals I for which I = Ĩ Ratliff–Rush ideals, and we call Ĩ the Ratliff–Rush ideal associated with I. It is easy to see that an element a of I : I is integral over I, in the sense that there is an equation of the form a + b1a k−1 + . . . + bk = 0, where bi ∈ I for i = 1, . . . , k. Therefore, the ideal Ĩ is always between I and the integral closure I ′ of I, and hence integrally closed ideals are Ratliff–Rush ideals. Ratliff and Rush observe [RR, (2.3.4)] that the powers of an invertible ideal are Ratliff–Rush ideals, so any principal ideal generated by a nonzerodivisor is a Ratliff–Rush ideal. They also prove the interesting fact that for any regular ideal I of R, there is a positive integer n such that for all k ≥ n, Ĩk = I [RR, (2.3.2)], i.e., all sufficiently high powers of a regular ideal are Ratliff–Rush. A regular ideal I is always a reduction of its associated Ratliff–Rush ideal Ĩ, in the sense that I(Ĩ) = (Ĩ) for some positive integer n. For the basic facts on reductions and reduction numbers of ideals, we refer the reader to [NR], [H1], and [H2]. In particular, if there is an element a of an ideal I for which aI = I then aR is called a principal reduction of I and the smallest n for which this equation holds is called the reduction number of I. We will call a regular ideal I stable iff it has a principal reduction with reduction number at most one, i.e., iff there is an element a of I for which
