“…To mention some classical results, R is a Dedekind domain if and only if I(R) = I * (R) if and only if I(R) is a factorial monoid, and R is a Krull domain if and only if I * v (R) is a factorial monoid. Recent progress in such directions can be found in the work by Anderson, Juett, Klingler, Olberding, Reinhart, and others (e.g., [49,58,3,50,56,57,52]).…”
