Let
be an ideal of a Noetherian ring
and M be a finitely generated
-module. We introduce the class of extension modules of finitely generated
modules by the class of all modules
with
and we denote it
by
where
is an integer. We prove that for any
(or minimax) submodule
of
the
-modules
and
are finitely generated, whenever the modules
,
, ...,
are
( or weakly Laskerian). As a
consequence, it follows that the set of associated primes of
is
finite. This generalizes the main results of Bahmanpour and Naghipour [4]
and [5], Brodmann and Lashgari [6], Khashyarmanesh and
Salarian [21] and Hong Quy [18]. We also show that the category
of
-cofinite
-modules
forms an Abelian subcategory of the category of all
-modules.
