All rings considered will be commutative with identity. By a graded ring we will mean a ring graded by the non-negative integers.
A ring R is called a π-ring if every principal ideal of R is a product of prime ideals. A π-ring without divisors of zero is called a π-domain. A graded ring (domain) is called a graded π-ring (-domain) if every homogeneous principal ideal is a product of homogenous prime ideals. A ring R is called a general ZPl-ring if every ideal is a product of primes. A graded ring is called a graded general ZPl-ring if every homogenous ideal is a product of homogeneous prime ideals.
