Abstract

Let $R$ be a ring. It is well-known that $R$ is {\it NI} if and only if $\sum_{i=0}^nRa_iR$ is a nil ideal of $R$ whenever a polynomial $\sum_{i=0}^na_ix^i$ is nilpotent, where $x$ is an indeterminate over $R$. We consider a condition which is similar to the preceding one:
$\sum_{i=0}^nRa_iR$ contains a nonzero nil ideal of $R$ whenever $\sum_{i=0}^na_ix^i$ over $R$ is nilpotent. A ring will be said to be {\it quasi-NI} if it satisfies this condition. The structure of quasi-NI rings is observed, and various examples are given to situations which raised naturally in the process.
