摘要

Nelsen [J. Algebra 298 (2006) 134-141] asked whether there is a natural class of McCoy rings which includes all reversible rings and all rings R such that R[X] is semi-commutative. In this paper, some new equivalent conditions of McCoy rings are given. One of them is used to answer this question in the affirmative. Finally, an example is given which is McCoy and semi-commutative, but it is not reversible and does not have the property that R[x] is semi-commutative.
