“…We mention that this concept appears also in [3,Definition 1.3] as the so called weakly stable ideal. Herzog, Popescu and Vladoiu proved in [8] that I is of Borel type, if and only if for any monomial u ∈ I and for any 1 ≤ j < i ≤ n with x i |u, there exists an integer t > 0 such that x t j u/x ν i (u) i ∈ I, where ν i (u) is the exponent of x i in u. This allows us to prove that the property of an ideal to be of Borel type is preserved for several operations, like sum, intersection, product, colon, see Proposition 1.1.…”
