From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In mathematics, a ring is Artinian if it has the descending chain condition on the poset of ideals under inclusion.
An algebra over a field that is finite-dimensional (over the field) is certainly Artinian, since any ideal must be a vector subspace. Any finite ring must be Artinian, also. Therefore the theory of Artinian rings (named for Emil Artin) has many classical examples.
