Abstract

For a positive integer n, an atomic integral domain R is defined to be completely non- n- factorial if for any n atoms a1…, an, the product a1 … a n has as highly nonunique a factorization into atoms as possible in that given any n − 1 atoms b1,…, bnt - 1, b1 … b n− 1¦a1 … a n. We show that R is completely non-n-factorial for some n ≥ 2 if and only if (R, M) is a quasilocal domain with [M: M] a DVR having M as its maximal ideal.
