$R$ is Noetherian ring $iff$ Every nonempty set of ideals of $R$ contains a maximal element under inclusion.



What does the phrase "maximal element $textbf{under inclusion}$" mean? I am having a hard time understanding the context of "under inclusion".



For e.g. assume that we are given any increasing chain of ideals $I_1subset I_2subset cdots$. Since, every set (say $mathcal{S}$) of ideals of $R$ contains a maximal element under inclusion, meaning that if $mathcal{S}={I_1}$, then there exist maximal ideal $M$ which satisfy $I_1 hookrightarrow M$. Similarly, if $mathcal{S}={I_1,I_2}$, then there exist maximal ideal $M$ which satisfy $I_1 hookrightarrow M$ and $I_2 hookrightarrow M$. From here, it is easy to prove that $R$ is Noetherian.



Conversely, Assume that $R$ is Noetherian ring. Let $mathcal{S}$ be any non-empty set of ideals of $R$ with no
maximal element. Since, $mathcal{S} neq emptyset$, let $I_1$ be in $mathcal{S}$.

Now, I have seen in some of the references that "Because $I_1$ is not maximal, we can choose $I_2$ in $mathcal{S}$ with $I_1 subset I_2$ and $I_1 neq I_2$."



Doubt: Why does there exist such $I_2$ in the above statement. (Or you can give some other explanation. I guess this is where "under inclusion" comes to picture.)

    @MauroALLEGRANZA Can we say, equivalently, that If $R$ is Noetherian ring and if the set $mathcal{S}$ contains ideals $I_1,I_2,I_3,cdots$ under inclusion (that is to say that $I_1 subset I_2 subset I_3subset cdots$) then we have to prove that the maximal element exist for this inclusion? (I guess the point is that maximal element makes sense under some "orderedness" which "inclusion" provides here)

What does the phrase "maximal element under inclusion" mean?




The phrase "maximal element" has no meaning unless some partial order is indicated.



That's what "under inclusion" means: the partial order is the set containment relation $subseteq$.




Now, I have seen in some of the references that "Because $I_1$ is not maximal, we can choose $I_2$ in $mathcal{S}$ with $I_1 subset I_2$ and $I_1 neq I_2$." [...] Doubt: Why does there exist such $I_2$ in the above statement.




Because that is what "not maximal" means. If no such $I_2$ existed, $I_1$ would be maximal. I would encourage you to look at the definition of "maximal" and contemplate its negation, and you will understand.
