A note on maximal non-prime ideals

The rings considered in this article are commutative with identity $1neq 0$. By a proper ideal of a ring $R$,  we mean an ideal $I$ of $R$ such that $Ineq R$.  We say that a proper ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is a  maximal non-prime ideal if $I$ is not a prime ideal of $R$ but any proper ideal $A$ of $R$ with $ Isubseteq A$ and $Ineq A$ is a prime ideal. That is, among all the proper ideals of $R$, $I$ is maximal with respect to the property of being not a prime ideal.  The concept of maximal non-maximal ideal and maximal non-primary ideal of a ring can be similarly defined. The aim of this article is to characterize ideals $I$ of a ring $R$ such that $I$ is a maximal non-prime (respectively, a maximal non maximal, a maximal non-primary) ideal of $R$.
