Abstract

An $R-$module $M$ is called almost uniserial if any two non-isomorphic submodules of $M$ are comparable. A ring $R$ is an almost left uniserial ring if $_R R$ is almost uniserial. In this paper, we introduce a class of artinian almost uniserial rings. Also we give a classification of almost uniserial modules over principal ideal domains.
