Definition

Symbol-free definition

An integral domain is termed a Bezout domain if every finitely generated ideal in it is principal.

Relation with other properties

Stronger properties

• Principal ideal domain
• Multi-stage Euclidean domain

Weaker properties

• gcd domain: For proof of the implication, refer Bezout implies gcd and for proof of its strictness (i.e. the reverse implication being false) refer gcd not implies Bezout
