Abstract
 |
It is known that if
is a 2-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay
local ring with infinite residue field and if I
is a primary ideal which is equal to its Ratliff-Rush closure, then
for all
under certain conditions.
In this paper,
this result
is generalised to the Hilbert polynomial and Hilbert function of a module
M with respect to an ideal I.
A result on the independence of the reduction number is also proved. |
