    Let \(D\) be a domain. An irreducible element \(x \in D\) is called an atom; an atom is a strong atom if for every \(k \geq 1\), every irreducible divisor of \(x^k\) is an associate of \(x\). The article investigates the notion of strong atoms in rings of integers of algebraic number fields and discusses the examples \({\mathbb Z}[\sqrt{-5}\,]\) and \({\mathbb Z}[5i]\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1237.13006].
