Let ${\mathcal A}=(A_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be an increasing sequence of rings. We say that ${\mathcal I}=(I_n)_{n\geq 0}$ is an associated sequence of ideals of ${\mathcal A}$ if $I_0=A_0$ and for each $n\geq 1$, $I_n$ is an ideal of $A_n$ contained in $I_{n+1}$. We define the polynomial ring and the power series ring as follows: ${\mathcal I}[X]=\lbrace f={\sum_{i=0}^n}a_iX^i\in {\mathcal A}[X]: n\in \mathbb{N}, a_i\in I_i\rbrace$ and ${\mathcal I}[[X]]=\lbrace f={\sum_{i=0}^{+\infty}}a_iX^i\in {\mathcal A}[[X]]: a_i\in I_i\rbrace$. In this paper we study the Noetherian and the SFT properties of these rings and their consequences.
